Enzo Fernandez’s future at Chelsea looks increasingly uncertain. The Argentine midfielder was not selected by Xabi Alonso for the victory against Luton Town (2-0) in the Carabao Cup, although the Spanish coach had initially announced that he would participate in the match. “ It was my decision, taken in consultation with the club. Enzo is a true professional. It was a decision I made. We’ll see what happens on Sunday against Brighton “, explained Xabi Alonso after the Blues qualified, reports A.S.. An absence which comes as discussions around the player’s departure intensify. Enzo Fernandez would now be on the verge of joining Manchester City, the player has already informed Chelsea that he wants to reunite with Enzo Maresca.
A departure from the Argentinian would force Chelsea to strengthen in midfield in the final days of the transfer window. Several players are already associated with the Blues in England, including Alex Scott, Manu Koné, Adam Wharton, Eduardo Camavinga and Martín Zubimendi. Manchester City could, for their part, make one of the most important transfers in their history after having already invested considerably this summer to recruit Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi. No final agreement has yet been announced between the two clubs, but the decision of Xabi Alonso to do without Enzo Fernandez in the cup, added to the desire to leave loaned to the player, reinforces the possibility of a transfer before the market closes.
