• Football Insider reports Real Madrid have intensified their pursuit of Fernández and are exploring a potential double move that also includes Moisés Caicedo.
• Chelsea sources say the club would only consider offers over £100m for the 24-year-old, who is under contract until 2032.
• Fichajes, cited by CaughtOffside, reports Chelsea would seek around £120m, a figure that could complicate any Madrid move given their existing midfield options.
• Fernández has started the season strongly under Enzo Maresca with three goals and one assist, and journalists report he is content at Chelsea and not pushing for a transfer.
