Chelsea Open to Enzo Fernández Exit as Big Clubs Circle

Chelsea’s midfielder Enzo Fernández could be on the move this summer as both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) show keen interest in acquiring the talented player. Reports indicate that Chelsea is prepared to entertain offers for Fernández, suggesting he is no longer viewed as “untouchable” by the club’s management at Stamford Bridge.

Reports from TeamTalk reveal that Chelsea would consider selling Fernández for the right price. This shift in stance opens the door for Madrid and PSG, who are closely monitoring the situation. L’Equipe also confirmed that PSG is poised to make a move should Fernández become available.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace is experiencing heightened interest in forward Jean-Philippe Mateta. As the club navigates significant changes, including captain Marc Guéhi‘s transfer to Manchester City, they are facing a potential offer from Juventus. The Italian club reportedly plans to propose up to €30 million for Mateta, with the deal structured to include an initial €2 million loan fee followed by a €28 million obligation in the summer, pending certain conditions.

Palace has so far rejected Juventus’ first approach for Mateta, who remains under contract until the summer of 2027.

Chelsea is not the only club in the spotlight this transfer window. Nottingham Forest is reportedly closing in on a deal for Lorenzo Lucca, a forward from Napoli. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Lucca is set to join Forest on an initial loan for €1 million, with an option to make the transfer permanent for €35 million. Despite interest from other clubs, Lucca has chosen to move to the Premier League side after a challenging season where he has scored just once in 16 Serie A appearances.

In other transfer news, advanced negotiations are taking place between Borussia Dortmund and FC Basel for a loan deal involving winger Julien Duranville. The 19-year-old is reportedly eager to make the switch to the Bundesliga. Additionally, Feyenoord’s winger Anis Haji-Moussa is being watched closely by Chelsea, Marseille, and Benfica.

Leeds United is in talks to sign Romano Schmid from Werder Bremen, with a €15 million transfer fee being discussed. Meanwhile, Arsenal full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko is expected to undergo a medical at Ajax this week, following a verbal agreement for a loan for the remainder of the season.

While Barcelona considers potential managerial candidates such as Mikel Arteta and Luis Enrique, they are keen to retain current head coach Hansi Flick for as long as possible.

As the transfer window progresses, clubs are actively seeking to strengthen their squads, leading to a flurry of activity that may reshape the landscape of European football. Fans will be watching closely as these negotiations unfold, anticipating how each move could impact their favorite teams.
