After three and a half years in London, Enzo Fernandez (25) still wants to leave Chelsea. The Argentine midfielder had already sowed discord at Chelsea by publicly declaring that he would like to live in Madrid one day. Comments perceived as a call to Real Madrid and which had caused the 2022 world champion to be deprived of a match by his club. Despite everything, the Blues are well aware that the Albiceleste international still wants to pack up.
Manchester City and Real Madrid have been announced as Fernandez’s two main courtiers, while Chelsea have reportedly set the starting price of their player at €140 million, or €20 million more than the price paid by the Londoners in January 2023. Under contract until 2032, will the native of San Martin manage to pack up? We may know after the 2026 World Cup, but his agent, Javier Pastore, confirmed in an interview with Marca that he was working behind the scenes to find a way out for his client.
Enzo Fernandez often comes to Madrid
“He is doing well, he is very positive, he is having a very good World Cup. During the first two matches, he contributed to the team’s great victory. Today, the player is calmly focusing on the national team, he is playing in a World Cup, he is very close to qualifying for the round of 16… He is only thinking about that, while we study the possibilities of making him leave Chelsea, but nothing is yet definitive or confirmed at any club.
“He has a lot of friends there, and he is very close to Julián Álvarez. Ultimately, they spend all the time they can together there. And I also live in Madrid. Every time he traveled, it was to see me and to deal with professional matters, but other than that: who doesn’t love Madrid? I, who have never played in Madrid… I still live there.” Javier Pastore has not confirmed anything regarding a transfer to the Merengues, but his words will not fall on deaf ears…
