Real Madrid wouldn't match €100m bid for midfielder to join Tottenham

Matheus Fernandez was one of many midfielders considered by Real Madrid this summer in their attempt to revamp their squad. Last season the club had problems in the midfield, especially in terms of creativity, and this has become one of the main challenges for the club's management this summer. However, today it was reported that Tottenham Hotspur have made a significant offer for the midfielder, and it is close to the €100 million mark. At this point, it can be said that the player is likely to join Spurs, with his potential move to Real Madrid now in doubt.


The amount offered by Tottenham is considered too high. According to Mario Cortegana, Fernandez did attract interest from Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho and was a realistic target for Los Blancos. However, the club had a clear idea of ​​how much they were willing to invest in him. Real Madrid, in that sense, didn't even come close to the €100 million that Tottenham were willing to pay, and they wouldn't come close to that figure even if given the chance. This way, the club will have no regrets over missing out on the opportunity to sign the midfielder as he left for a fee well above their budget.

Now President Perez and his team will focus on other goals. Real Madrid are gradually losing midfielders on the transfer market and the time has come for serious negotiations and profiling of targets. Nico Paz, who was initially a strong candidate to return, has now signed with Como, while Fernandez is also no longer an option. Real Madrid are interested in Enzo Fernandez. Enzo Fernandez is Real Madrid's top target at the moment, but Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso is reportedly counting on the player and has no intention of making his exit any easier. Moreover, Los Blancos have not even started negotiations with Chelsea over their supposed 'top target' and it is clear that a deal must be done soon. The current focus is on selling players and all signs point to Real Madrid returning to active signings following a major sale.
