Chelsea’s midfielder Enzo Fernández could be on the move this summer, with both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) expressing interest in his situation. The club has indicated a willingness to let the Argentine international leave for the right price, a significant shift from his previous status as an “untouchable” player at Stamford Bridge.
Reports from TeamTalk suggest that Chelsea’s hierarchy is reassessing their squad, and Fernández is now seen as a viable candidate for transfer. This news comes just days after L’Equipe confirmed PSG’s interest, with the French club ready to make a bid if Fernández becomes available.
In related news, Crystal Palace is also navigating a tumultuous transfer window. The club is dealing with a potential exodus, highlighted by the recent transfer of captain Marc Guéhi to Manchester City. The situation is further complicated by interest from Juventus in forward Jean-Philippe Mateta. Reports indicate that Juventus is prepared to offer up to €30 million for Mateta, proposing an initial loan fee of €2 million, followed by a €28 million obligation if certain conditions are met.
Crystal Palace reportedly rejected Juventus’ initial approach for Mateta, who remains under contract until the summer of 2027. The club’s fans are likely anxious about losing key players during a period of instability, especially with manager Oliver Glasner set to leave at the season’s end.
Transfer Developments Across Europe
In other transfer news, Nottingham Forest is closing in on a deal for Lorenzo Lucca, a forward from Napoli. According to Fabrizio Romano, Forest is poised to sign Lucca on an initial loan for €1 million, with a permanent option available for €35 million. Lucca, 25, has made one goal contribution in 16 Serie A appearances this season and is a capped Italy international.
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund is in advanced negotiations with FC Basel for a loan deal for 19-year-old winger Julien Duranville. Sky Germany reports that Duranville is eager to make the move, which could strengthen Dortmund’s attacking options.
Several other clubs are also active in the transfer market. Arsenal full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko is set to undergo a medical at Ajax this week, following a verbal agreement for a loan until the season’s end. Leeds United are negotiating a €15 million transfer for Romano Schmid from Werder Bremen, further intensifying the competition in the Premier League.
Future Prospects for Clubs and Players
As clubs seek to bolster their squads, managers are also under scrutiny. Thomas Frank is expected to remain in charge at Tottenham for their upcoming Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund, despite the team’s disappointing form, capped by a recent 2-1 defeat to West Ham. The Spurs hierarchy is exploring all options regarding Frank’s future, which remains uncertain.
Barcelona is reportedly considering Mikel Arteta and Luis Enrique as potential candidates to manage the club in the future, although they hope to retain current boss Hansi Flick for as long as possible.
As the transfer window progresses, clubs across Europe are expected to make decisive moves that could reshape their squads ahead of the next season. With high-stakes negotiations and player movements, fans will be keenly watching to see how these developments unfold in the coming weeks.
