Real Madrid have officially ruled out signing Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez this summer, issuing a public statement denying any transfer interest. The 15-time European champions confirmed they signed Marc Cucurella from Chelsea for up to £51.8m but stated they have no intention of pursuing Fernandez, who joined the Blues after helping Argentina win the World Cup.

Fernandez has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge despite scoring 15 goals and providing seven assists last season. His agent Javier Pastore publicly questioned his valuation and suggested the player is underpaid, creating tension at Chelsea. Real Madrid emphasized their respect for Fernandez and institutional loyalty as reasons for the denial, calling speculation unfounded.

The situation has become uncomfortable for Chelsea, who value Fernandez at £120m but remain open to offers meeting that figure. The midfielder has openly discussed wanting to move to Spain, and his performances have made him a key figure at the club. Real Madrid's statement follows similar denials for other targets, signaling their current transfer strategy.

Despite the public denial, Fernandez's future remains uncertain with his camp pushing for a move and Chelsea unwilling to sell unless the valuation is met. The 22-year-old's importance to the team and ongoing contract questions ensure this situation will continue developing through the summer.
