Facilitating a transfer for Enzo Fernandez this summer will require a large financial package, with Chelsea currently valuing the World Cup winner at £120m.
The Blues are expecting a hefty fee as they look to secure a profit on the £106.8m they paid Benfica to bring the midfielder to Stamford Bridge in January 2023.
To bridge the huge financial gap, former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has proposed to Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso to consider an ambitious player-plus-cash swap deal involving Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.

The 23-year-old Frenchman is said to be too much for new Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, opening the door to a possible summer exit.
Despite his young age, Camavinga brings a wealth of experience to the elite field, having made 223 appearances for Real Madrid since joining from Rennes, during which he won two La Liga titles and two Champions League trophies.
“Eduardo Camavinga in a swap deal with Enzo Fernandez? Why not?” suggested Petit, highlighting the valuable winning mentality the Frenchman could inject at Stamford Bridge.
“When you come from Real Madrid to Chelsea after winning so many trophies and playing there for so many years and playing for the national team, you arrive at the club with experience that Chelsea probably lack. Camavinga is a talented player, he would be a great fit,” the French legend concluded.
While Fernandez is currently preparing to play a key role for Argentina as they aim to defend their crown at the 2026 World Cup, his future at the club looks set to completely dominate the summer transfer window narrative .
