Chelsea trio Enzo Fernandez, Marc Cucurella and Joao Pedro have sparked a Real Madrid transfer frenzy after being spotted with Jude Bellingham at the Madrid Open. The four stars were captured courtside for the last-16 clash between Vit Kopriva and Rafael Jodar with Jobe Bellingham also in attendance.

‌

The three Chelsea stars were sat in front of the Bellingham brothers with Sky Sports cameras videoing handshakes between the quartet. Fernandez was also captured in conversation with the Real Madrid star.

‌

‌

The latter may come as a slight concern to Chelsea fans after the Argentine fuelled rumours over a future move to Los Blancos with comments during the March international break that he was later internally suspended for.

Fernandez returned to the fold earlier this month and seemingly sent a clear message on his future by pointing at the Chelsea badge after scoring in the FA Cup semi-final against Leeds United. There remains uncertainty surrounding Fernandez's long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

Cucurella was also punished for controversial comments he made recently as the left-back slammed the Chelsea project and the decision to sack Enzo Maresca.

With no permanent head coach in charge, players speaking out against the club and Champions League qualification hopes for next season hanging by a thread, the Blues appear in disarray.

There is at least an FA Cup final against Manchester City to look forward to next month with Calum McFarlane, in for his second spell as interim boss, leading Chelsea to a 1-0 victory in the semi-finals this past weekend.

‌

Fernandez was the decisive goal-scorer at Wembley with McFarlane delivering a thorough verdict on all the qualities he loves in the 25-year-old.

He said: "I said that to him at the end, I said, 'you like scoring at the back post for me'. And he just laughed. He does that really well, he's done it all year.

"It's one of his biggest attributes, that when you attack down the right, his timing of his runs, his ability to actually get good distance and height on his jump and his heading technique is really good. He's a winner, he's got so much talent, he's got so much fight, he's massive for this group.

"And the best thing about Enzo is that he can do a bit of everything, but when it gets tough, you see the fight in him, you see him driving the group on, you see him making tackles, you see him fighting for every loose ball. So he was exceptional today and deserved his Man of the Match."

On his goals, McFarlane added: "It's something we rely on a lot. That's why he's changed position a lot over the last few years. He's played deeper, he's played as a No.10, he's moved about.

"But I think he's such a threat in the box that the higher up you play him, and he can drop down and he can drift, but the higher up you play him, he can really cause opposition's problems in that left half space and attacking the back stick."
