New Real Madrid signing Marc Cucurella has revealed he would welcome a reunion with former Chelsea teammate Enzo Fernandez at the Bernabeu, adding further fuel to speculation surrounding the midfielder’s future.
Cucurella recently completed a move to the Spanish giants and has now publicly endorsed the idea of Fernandez following him to Madrid after the World Cup.
Cucurella hopes for reunion
The Spain international described Fernandez as both a close friend and a top-quality player, admitting he would be delighted to see the Argentine join Real Madrid.
“He’s a great player and a friend of mine,” Cucurella said. “He congratulated me on the signing. I hope it happens. I would be very happy.”
The defender added that the prospect of both players leaving Chelsea for Madrid in the same transfer window would be a special moment.
Fernandez future remains unclear
Fernandez’s long-term future at Chelsea has been the subject of speculation for months.
The Argentine midfielder found himself at the centre of controversy last season after comments about Madrid sparked questions over his commitment to the London club.
Speaking previously, Fernandez admitted he liked Madrid and would consider living in the Spanish capital, remarks that reportedly led to disciplinary action from then-manager Liam Rosenior.
Despite the controversy, the 25-year-old remained an important figure for Chelsea, starting 35 league matches and contributing 10 goals and four assists during the 2025-26 campaign.
Real Madrid interest grows
With Chelsea missing out on European football and undergoing another period of transition, reports continue to link Fernandez with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
New Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is believed to be an admirer of the midfielder, although any potential deal would likely require significant negotiations given Fernandez’s status as one of Chelsea’s key assets.
