Javier Pastore, the agent of Argentine star Enzo Fernandez, who plays for Chelsea, has opened the door for the player's potential move to Real Madrid this summer.

"We are exploring the possibility of Enzo Fernandez leaving Chelsea this summer, but nothing is certain or final with any club," Pastore told Marca newspaper.

"Today, the player is calmly focused on the Argentine national team. He's playing in the World Cup and is very close to qualifying for the round of 16. That's all he's thinking about," he added.

Pastore confirmed that Enzo admires Madrid, saying, "He has many friends there, and he's a very close friend of Julian Alvarez."

The 25-year-old is considered one of the names linked with a move to Real Madrid next season, especially given his high praise for the club and the city, which has put him in the spotlight. However, the deal won't be easy.

He has a contract until 2032, and according to some reports, Chelsea will demand around €140 million, an amount Real Madrid is unwilling to pay.
