Enzo Fernandez is desperate to leave Chelsea this summer, as he hopes to secure a dream move to Real Madrid.
Argentina international, Fernandez has not hidden his desire to quit Stamford Bridge. In April, Fernandez was dropped by Chelsea for two games, after giving an hint about his desire to leave the London club.
Javier Pastore, Fernandez’s agent, hit out at Chelsea over the ban, which was described as “completely unfair” in a bombshell interview with The Athletic.
Though tension has subside between both parties, Pastore has now made clear that his client is still looking for pastures new.

“At the moment, the player is calmly focusing on the national team,” Pastore told reporters. “He’s playing in a World Cup and is very close to reaching the round of 16.
“He’s thinking only about that, whilst we’re looking at options for him to leave Chelsea, but there’s nothing definite or confirmed with any club.”
Asked again about Madrid, Pastore said of Fernandez: “He has lots of friends there [at Real Madrid], and he’s very close to Julian Alvarez.
“And I’m living in Madrid too. Every time he’s travelled there, it’s been to see me and to sort out work matters, but apart from that: who doesn’t like Madrid?
“I never played in Madrid… yet I even live there.”
Chelsea have not given any signs they’ll let go of the Argentine, as they believe he’ll continue to play his important role at the club under the leadership of Xabi Alonso.
