Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez \u2018only wants\u2019 to sign for Real Madrid in the summer, according to reports, after Jurgen Klopp \u2018agrees\u2019 to become head coach.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid<\/strong> have had a turbulent season with former head coach Xabi Alonso sacked in January after Los Blancos lost to arch-rivals Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup.<\/p>\n The Spanish giants immediately appointed Alvaro Arbeloa as his successor but it wasn\u2019t made clear if the former defender was the new permanent boss or an interim until the end of the season.<\/p>\n Either way, it now looks certain that Arbeloa will be replaced in the summer \u2013 with Real Madrid trailing La Liga leaders Barcelona by nine points \u2013 and plenty of managers are being linked to the Real Madrid job.<\/p>\n But the race to fill the Bernabeu hotseat could be over with reports claiming that former Liverpool head coach Klopp has \u2018agreed\u2019 to take over next season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Chelsea midfielder Fernandez has previously been mooted as one of the signings Klopp wants to make<\/strong> as soon as he arrives at the end of the season.<\/p>\n READ: Five England players who could be in the Goldilocks sweet spot come the World Cup<\/strong><\/p>\n And now the latest reports out of Spain claim that Fernandez has made it clear that he \u2018only wants\u2019 a move to Real Madrid this summer and \u2018has decided to cut off any negotiations that don\u2019t involve\u2019 the La Liga giants.<\/p>\n The report adds:<\/p>\n \u2018This stance directly affects his situation at Chelsea, the club with which he has a contract and where he doesn\u2019t want to stay. Despite this, the player would be willing to wait for Real Madrid\u2019s move before accepting another offer. It\u2019s unusual to see such a firm position in the transfer market, especially for a player of his caliber. However, his desire to be part of the Real Madrid project outweighs any other option.<\/p>\n \u2018Real Madrid\u2019s interest in strengthening their midfield is well-known, and Enzo fits the profile perfectly. His ability to orchestrate play, his intensity, and his international experience make him a highly valuable asset. Furthermore, the possibility of playing alongside Bellingham and Vinicius adds extra appeal, as his role is expected to be key in a team that, like Real Madrid, always aims for the Champions League.\u2019<\/p>\n READ: Pochettino \u2018proposes\u2019 eight Real Madrid transfers after Mbappe \u2018recommends\u2019 Arbeloa successor \u2013 report<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking soon after Alonso\u2019s sacking in January, Klopp left the door open for a potential move to Real Madrid despite insisting he is happy in his role as Red Bull\u2019s Head of Global Soccer.<\/p>\n Klopp told AFP<\/em>: \u201cI\u2019m in a place, as a person, where I\u2019m completely at peace with where I am. I don\u2019t want to be somewhere else. I don\u2019t get up and excited if Real Madrid are showing interest. If they would be, but it\u2019s the media.<\/p>\n \u201cDo I want to coach again? At the moment, I would say no, but I cannot say never, never, never. I don\u2019t expect to change my mind, but I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Arsenal will \u2018demand\u2019 \u20ac110m for Brazilian star as Real Madrid plan to \u2018knock on door\u2019 \u2013 report<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n
