The summer transfer window will open in a few months. And we can already say that Enzo Fernández should be one of the stars of this next transfer market. Under contract with Chelsea until 2032, the Argentinian was not necessarily concerned by a departure. But in recent days, the future of the 2022 world champion has been at the center of debate. On March 17, before the Champions League round of 16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, Tyc Sports revealed that the midfielder is reaching a turning point in his adventure in London and that he is ready to take the next step in his career. The Argentine publication, which is close to the Fernandez clan, also clarified that PSG and Real Madrid are interested, but that none of them have made an offer at the moment.

Asked about his future after the elimination against the Ile-de-France residents, Enzo Fernández confided: “my future at the club? I don’t know. For now, I’m thinking about Chelsea. We’ll see after the World Cup. All I have to do now is support my teammates. There are still eight Premier League games remaining and we are still in contention for the FA Cup. We can turn the situation around. » Statements which did not really reassure England. A few days later, he denied rumors sending him to Madrid next summer. “No, honestly, nothing. Zero discussion. For now we are focusing on Chelsea and what remains of the last matches of the season, and we will see after the World Cup. »

A disturbing communication

This is where we have been for the last few days. Except that the Albiceleste midfielder put a piece back into the machine this Monday. “I would like to live in Spain. I really like Madrid, it reminds me of Buenos Aires. I would live in Madrid. A player can live wherever he wants. I get by in English, but it would be better in Spanish. » If Enzo Fernández added he would return to River Plate ” in great shape “but “not to retire”his public appeal to Madrid has not gone unnoticed, especially when we know that he is in the sights of the Merengues. On the other side of the Channel, his media outing seems to be one too many. The media and Blues supporters simply can’t take it anymore.

The Sun writes about him: “a Chelsea star is the talk of the town as Real Madrid is interested in him. Enzo Fernández has sowed doubt over his future after flirting with Real Madrid over a transfer. His performances this season have attracted the attention of Real Madrid leaders, who are considering signing him this summer. Fernández made it very clear that he had his sights set on someone else during his stay with Argentina. This is not the first time that the Blues star player has suggested that his future could lie far from Chelsea (…). Losing Fernandez would be a big blow to Rosenior’s rebuilding project.”. The Evening Standard goes in the same direction and affirms that it “further sows doubt about its future”.

Fernandez alienates people

For his part, The Mirror is surprised by the Argentinian’s communication strategy. “While Real Madrid wasn’t explicitly named, the reference couldn’t have been clearer, and people on the stream, including Fernandez himself, smiled after a remark about Real Madrid. The 25-year-old has not made things easy on himself in recent weeks, notably with a particularly disturbing comment following the elimination of Chelsea by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. » Blues fans are much more incisive with the former Benfica player. On XThe Blue Dodger, who follows the club, wrote: “The World Cup cannot come soon enough. And if someone doesn’t want to help the club, they should leave. »

Another supporter said: “let this guy finally go away!” I hate all this nonsense, Real Madrid should just pay up and get rid of him. » A last one added: “If I were Rosenior, I wouldn’t play him anymore. It’s normal that he leaves, but he becomes toxic and it will rub off on the other players. We have to give them a chance to prove themselves. » An opinion shared by many London supporters. The divorce is more and more palpable between Enzo Fernández and the lovers of Chelsea. For its part, the English club has the upper hand since it has a long contract and will be able to claim a jackpot in the event of a sale. What is certain is that the Argentine midfielder is unanimously against him in England.
