  WHAT HAPPENED?

  According to Cadenaser, Madrid have two new midfield options on their radar: Fernandez and Argentinian compatriot and Bayer Leverkusen ace Exequiel Palacios. This comes after it was revealed that Modric will leave Los Blancos for good this summer.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Madrid have been linked with Fernandez in recent weeks but Chelsea are unlikely to entertain a sale, unless they can move him on for more than the £106.8 million ($143m) they paid Benfica for him back in 2023. Incidentally, speculation that the 24-year-old wants to move to Santiago Bernabeu has increased since his Madrid revelation.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  The report adds that Madrid will be hoping that Chelsea fail to win the Europa Conference League final against Real Betis and fall short in their bid to qualify for next season's Champions League as that may hasten a possible Stamford Bridge exit for Fernandez.
