The Premier League club have made it clear they will only consider selling Fernandez if a significant offer is submitted, following growing speculation over his future at Stamford Bridge during the ongoing transfer window.

According to reports, interest from Real Madrid is genuine, with the Spanish giants closely monitoring the situation as they consider a move for the highly rated midfielder.

Chelsea, however, are determined to protect their investment and will not sanction a departure unless their valuation is met.

The club signed Fernandez from Benfica in 2023 for £106.8 million, and they are now seeking to make a profit should he leave after just over a year in West London.

The midfielder, now 25, remains one of the most expensive signings in Chelsea’s history, and the club still views him as a key part of their long-term project.

Fernandez has previously fuelled speculation over his future after expressing admiration for Madrid and suggesting a desire to live in the Spanish capital in the future.

His comments in March reportedly caused internal discussions at Chelsea, leading to disciplinary action, including a brief suspension.

Real Madrid’s continued interest has added further uncertainty, although no formal bid has yet been confirmed.

Chelsea are expected to resist any approach unless it matches their £120 million demand, a figure that reflects both his transfer cost and his importance to the squad.
