Marc Cucurella has already made the switch to Real Madrid and wants one of his former Chelsea teammates to join him.
The left-back, who is currently away with Spain at the 2026 World Cup after being included in Luis de la Fuente's 26-man squad, has sealed a transfer to Real Madrid after the Blues agreed a £52 million deal.
The 27-year-old has joined Los Blancos on a six year deal and, according to recent reports, has asked Enzo Fernandez to also make the switch.

Fernandez has been heavily linked with Madrid this year.
The Argentine midfielder was given a two-game ban by former head coach Liam Rosenior after he issued Madrid with a 'come-and-get-me' plea during an interview while on international duty earlier this year.
However, although Fernandez is wanted by Jose Mourinho, the biggest obstacle Real Madrid face is meeting the Blues' whopping £120 million valuation.
The Spanish giants will likely need to sell one of their current midfielders — rumoured to be either Fede Valverde or Aurelien Tchouameni — before they can make Chelsea an opening offer.
Despite all that needs to happen before Fernandez can seal his dream transfer though, according to The Sun, Cucurella has been secretly urging him to join him in the Spanish capital.
Real Madrid hoping to reunite pair
Cucurella and Fernandez played together at Stamford Bridge for three-and-a-half years and formed a solid partnership.
The pair played 119 times together at club level with Chelsea averaging 1.61 points per game whenever they were on the pitch together. They were both part of the Chelsea squad that lifted the 2024-25 UEFA Conference League and 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
And Real Madrid will be hoping they can reunite the duo before the close of the summer transfer in September.
As mentioned previously though, any chance Los Blancos have of entering the market for Fernandez will entirely depend on whether or not they can make a big sale of their own.
Even though there are suggestions Eduardo Camavinga could be the player sacrificed, Tchouameni is a leading candidate to leave the Santiago Bernabeu amid strong interest from Michael Carrick's Manchester United.
The Red Devils, like Chelsea, also need to bolster their midfield and France's Tchouameni is moving up their shortlist amid their ongoing struggles to agree a deal with West Ham for Matheus Fernandes.
