Real Madrid wishes to express its utmost respect for Enzo Fernndez, a great footballer whose career and quality are widely known, as well as for Chelsea FC, a club with which it maintains an excellent institutional relationship. Precisely because of the respect that an entity like Chelsea FC deserves and because of the principles of institutional loyalty that have always governed the actions of Real Madrid, the club considers it necessary to categorically deny speculations that are unfounded and do not correspond to reality. Real Madrid regrets that, despite the clarity of the facts and the lack of any action on the part of the club, information continues to be disseminated that does not correspond to reality and that only contributes to generating confusion among fans and unnecessarily harming the entities and people involved.Fernandezs agent continues to talk up Madrid moveFernandez was suspended by Chelsea for two games in April after saying, I really like Madrid because its very similar to Buenos Aires, on Argentinian TV show Nadie Dice Nada.And in recent days, the players agent Javier Pastore has also suggested his client fancies a move to the Spanish capital.At the moment, the player is calmly focusing on the national team, Pastore told reporters.
