Real Madrid are set to open talks with Chelsea for the potential signing of midfielder Enzo Fernandez in the coming days.
The La Liga giants have already landed left-back Marc Cucurella from the Blues and they could do more business this summer.
Fernandez has been a long-term target for the Madrid heavyweights and they are prepared to step up their pursuit in the near future.
Talks are planned with the Blues to find out the exact valuation as well as the structure of payments for the World Cup winner.
Chelsea are expected to demand a British record fee for the midfielder and he is set to cost more than £125 million, as per reports.
Fernandez has already made up his mind to join Los Blancos and personal terms would be a formality if an agreement is reached.
If Fernandez were to depart, the Blues plan to pursue a marquee midfield with Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton among the targets.
