Enzo Fernandez to leave Chelsea this summer
Fernandez, who joined the London club back in 2023 from Benfica, has gone on to establish himself as one of the best midfielders in the world. The Argentine international has been one of the standout performers for the Blues over the years.
While he remains one of the most important parts of their plans and his contract runs until 2032, Fernandez is all set to push for an exit this summer. He is not pleased with where the project is heading and is looking for a new destination. Experts like Simon Phillips have suggested that there is a 99% chances of him leaving.
European giants to battle for Fernandez
With him likely to be available, giants like City, Real Madrid and PSG have started making moves. The Manchester-based giants are looking to revamp their midfield by signing the 25-year-old, who can feature in any role in the centre of the park.
He is a proven Premier League star and could have an immediate impact at City. With Rodri struggling to stay fit in the recent season, Fernandez could be an ideal signing for them. They are ready to rival Madrid, PSG, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr in their pursuit.
Madrid see him as someone who could run the show in the midfield. Help them assert dominance in midfield in the post Toni Kroos and Luka Modric era. Meanwhile, at PSG, they are looking for a dream trio by signing Fernandez. They want him to start alongside Vitinha and Joao Neves.
Chelsea want €150 million for their star midfielder. The transfer could go through for a fee between €110-140 million, but the competition could raise the final figure. While Saudi Pro League clubs have the financial strength to leave the European clubs in the dust, the player might prefer joining a top league at this stage of his career.
