Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, a rising 21-year-old Argentine international, finds himself in the spotlight as rumours swirl of a potential departure from Stamford Bridge.
According to reports from Fichajes, Fernandez may be contemplating a move away from Chelsea at the conclusion of the season. The talented midfielder, a World Cup winner, appears dissatisfied with his current role in the team, a sentiment partly fueled by Chelsea’s subpar performance since his arrival.
Last season saw Chelsea endure a disappointing Premier League campaign, finishing a lowly 12th in the league standings. The start of the new season has been far from spectacular, and new manager Mauricio Pochettino is under mounting pressure to extract the best from his squad.
Enzo Fernandez joined Chelsea for a staggering €120 million and committed to a long-term contract. This financial commitment leaves Chelsea with no immediate need to offload the young talent, making it a challenging prospect for Fernandez if he contemplates a departure in 2024.
Recognized as a world-class talent with immense potential, Chelsea aims to retain Fernandez for an extended period. The club’s future plans hinge on reinvigorating their season and persuading the gifted 21-year-old that Stamford Bridge offers the ideal platform to fulfill his aspirations and continue his development.
While Fernandez’s future remains uncertain, the next few weeks will be pivotal for Chelsea’s campaign. They face the daunting task of reestablishing themselves as formidable contenders and convincing their talented midfielder that his journey should continue under the banner of the Blues.
As far as this Premier League season goes, Chelsea haven’t had the best of starts. They have won just one out of their four matches so far, while losing two games against West Ham United and Nottingham Forest. One game also resulted in a draw, which was their first game of the season against Liverpool. The Blues are currently placed in 12th place and they need to work a lot in order to climb up the table.
