Cucurella, who moved from Chelsea to Real Madrid, said that he intends to bring Enzo Fernandez with him to Real Madrid as well

Spanish defender Marc Cucurella, after moving from London's Chelsea to Madrid's Real Madrid, did not hide his desire to see his former teammate Enzo Fernandez join him. Zamin.uz reported this.

This transfer is expected to cause a great resonance not only for the Madrid club but for all of European football. Cucurella has already signed a six-year contract to thrive under Jose Mourinho and is now trying to attract the Argentine world champion to this project.

Goal.com reports on this. In an interview with Marca, Cucurella touched upon his relationship with Enzo Fernandez and his potential transfer.

He is a wonderful player and my close friend. Enzo congratulated me on my move to Madrid.

I hope that his transfer also happens. We were happy together at Chelsea, and I would be very glad if the opportunity to be together again at a great club like Real Madrid arises, says the Spanish defender.

Conflicts at the London club and interest in Madrid have kept Enzo Fernandez's future at Chelsea under scrutiny since last season. The player's open expression of affection for the city of Madrid caused a strain in his relations with the club management and coaching staff.

In particular, the Argentine midfielder's comparison of Madrid to his hometown of Buenos Aires and his desire to live there caused objections from the London club's fans and management. Following these statements, former Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior took strict measures against the player and sidelined him without notice in important matches against teams such as Manchester City and Port Vale.

In the coach's opinion, the player crossed a red line regarding loyalty to the club's project with his statements. According to Goal.com, Fernandez himself has not given a clear answer on whether he will stay at the club after their exit from the Champions League.

However, the player's representative and former Paris Saint-Germain star Javier Pastore defended Enzo. According to Pastore, the player never spoke about leaving the Chelsea team; he simply gave a sincere answer to a question about a city he likes.

Enzo is a professional guy and always gives his all to the team he plays for. He simply said he likes the city of Madrid, which does not mean betrayal of the club, Pastore added.

Currently, Real Madrid is considering options to strengthen its central midfield. If Enzo Fernandez's transfer takes place, it could further strengthen the Madrid team's hegemony in the coming season.

Chelsea, meanwhile, faces a difficult choice between keeping one of its most valuable assets or letting him go in exchange for a large sum of money.
