Argentine Hernán Crespo, the former Chelsea striker, believes his compatriot Enzo Fernández, the Blues' midfielder, would be a "perfect signing" for Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
Real Madrid are pursuing high-profile midfield reinforcements ahead of next season, a shake-up expected under new manager José Mourinho after a disappointing campaign.
Fernández has already been linked with the Spanish club on several occasions, and he has courted controversy by hinting at his ambition to play at the Bernabéu.
Former Chelsea manager Liam Rossiner criticised the Argentine star for comments he deemed disrespectful to the club, given that his contract with the Blues remains valid.
Crispo told Koora in an upcoming interview, "Enzo Fernández has the quality, character and mentality to play for any club in the world."
"Real Madrid are always looking for players capable of handling the highest levels of pressure, and he falls into that category."
Concluding his praise, the Argentine striker stated, "Despite any difficulties he may have faced at Chelsea, his quality is undisputed, and he could shine in Madrid."
