Real Madrid have publicly denied reports linking the club with a move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández, insisting they have “no intention” of signing the Argentina international this summer.
According to the BBC, the Spanish giants issued an official statement on Friday after speculation intensified following comments from Fernandez’s agent, Javier Pastore, who revealed he is exploring options for the midfielder’s future and suggested a move to Madrid could appeal to the World Cup winner.
Although Pastore stopped short of confirming Real Madrid’s interest, he fuelled speculation by saying, “Who doesn’t like Madrid? Enzo has many friends there. I also live in Madrid.”
Real Madrid responded by categorically rejecting the reports.
