Javier Pastore, the agent of Real Madrid target, Enzo Fernandez, has confirmed that they are assessing potential moves away from Chelsea for the midfielder, although he insists the player’s current focus remains entirely on Argentina’s World Cup campaign.

The former Argentina international, who now represents Enzo, spoke to MARCA during an Argentine Football Association event in Miami, where he confirmed plans are being laid out for the midfielder’s departure from London.
Exit from Chelsea Under Consideration
When asked about links with Real Madrid, Pastore confirmed that no agreement has been reached with any club but acknowledged that his team is looking at possible exits from Chelsea.
“Today the player is calmly focused on the National Team, he’s playing in a World Cup, he’s very close to advancing to the round of 16…,” said Pastore.
“He’s only thinking about that and we’re looking at possibilities for him to leave Chelsea, but there’s nothing firm or confirmed with any club.”

Pastore also addressed suggestions that Enzo would welcome a move to Madrid, something that the midfielder has hinted at in the past.
“He has many friends there, and he’s very good friends with Julian Alvarez, and in the end, they spend all their free time together there,” the former PSG midfielder said.
“And I’m also living in Madrid. Every time he traveled, it was to see me and to sort out work matters, but besides that: who doesn’t love Madrid? I didn’t even play in Madrid… I even live there.”
Focused on the World Cup
However, Pastore said that Enzo is fully concentrated on helping Argentina succeed at the tournament.
“He is doing well, very positive, he is having a very good World Cup, in the first two matches he helped the team to win comfortably,” noted Pastore.

Asked about Enzo’s best position, Pastore highlighted the midfielder’s versatility, saying:
“Enzo’s position has changed a lot in recent years. He’s played deep or as a midfielder getting forward into the box.
“Here with the national team, he starts deep but ultimately he’s the only midfielder who gets forward and is close to Messi. He’s a player who adapts very well to any position.”
Real Madrid move unlikely
Despite the strong links to Real Madrid and Enzo and his agent openly flirting with the idea of a move to Spain, a move at this point seems unlikely.
While Los Blancos admire the Chelsea and Argentina midfielder, his price tag, which is likely to be around €140 million, is seen as a hindrance by the Spanissh capital club.
