Real Madrid are reportedly considering moves for Chelsea midfield duo Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo in 2026 on the request of head coach Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid<\/a> are reportedly interested in Chelsea<\/a> midfield duo Enzo Fernandez<\/a> and Moises Caicedo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pair started the Blues’ most recent Premier League match on Saturday afternoon, when they lost 3-1 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chelsea’s defensive woes continued at Stamford Bridge versus the Seagulls, who scored three times during the final 15 minutes to snatch maximum points.<\/p>\n

Netting the opener for Enzo Maresca’s men on the weekend, Fernandez has enjoyed a productive start to the campaign in front of goal.<\/p>\n

The 2022 World Cup winner has made the net ripple on three occasions and provided one assist across six Premier League appearances.<\/p>\n

\"Chelsea's<\/p>\n

Real Madrid keeping tabs on Chelsea duo?<\/p>\n

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes<\/a>, Real Madrid are looking to bolster their midfield ranks during the winter and summer windows of 2026.<\/p>\n

The report states that Los Blancos head coach Xabi Alonso<\/a> has requested a new top-class option in the middle of the park for 2026.<\/p>\n

It is understood that the La Liga giants are aiming to fill the void in quality and leadership left by the departures of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in recent times.<\/p>\n

That particular search has supposedly led Real Madrid to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea duo Fernandez and Caicedo are plying their trade.<\/p>\n

Both protected by long-term contracts in West London, the Argentine and the Ecuadorian are supposedly valued at over \u00a3100m each by the Blues.<\/p>\n

\"Chelsea's<\/p>\n

Stockpiling young talents<\/p>\n

Just 23 and 24 years of age respectively, Caicedo and Fernandez have the potential to revolutionise the Real Madrid midfield in the future.<\/p>\n

However, the chances of Los Blancos luring even one of the pair away from the Club World Cup winners within the next year are slim.<\/p>\n

After a sobering 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid on the weekend, Real Madrid take their Champions League dreams to Kazakhstan and the home of Kairat Almaty on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
