3 years after joining Chelsea, one of the most sensational transfer deals in Europe, Enzo Fernandez is facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge.
The Argentine midfielder is said to be increasingly losing faith in the project under the BlueCo group and has begun to be linked with a series of "big players" of European football. In that context, Chelsea itself is also ready to listen to appropriate transfer offers.
The exact origin of these rumors is still unclear, as Enzo is said to be "considering future options" after recently changing his agent. In parallel with that, some sources in England affirmed that Chelsea is ready to let him leave if they receive a reasonable price. Although there is no official confirmation, it is clear that it is not accidental that such information continuously appears.
Notably, rumors have erupted for almost exactly 3 years since Enzo arrived at Stamford Bridge with a record fee of 107 million pounds from Benfica - a contract that once turned him into the most expensive player in Chelsea's history. After a volatile early period, the best form of the 2022 World Cup champions has only really been clearly shown in recent months.
Therefore, if The Blues decide to sell Enzo this summer, it may be another strategic mistake of the BlueCo board of directors. Not only is Enzo a pillar, he is also a symbol of the rejuvenation project that the London team is pursuing.
Selling Enzo in this important transition period will be the latest serious mistake in a series of inconsistent decisions by BlueCo in the transfer market. Attached to the club almost from the early days of this group's takeover, the Argentine midfielder is not only a symbolic contract but also one of the clearest representatives of the project they are pursuing.
I think last season was the first time we really saw Chelsea's project, after only witnessing a few potential moments in previous years.
We are not satisfied with the present, because the goal is to continue competing at the highest level and fighting for the Premier League and Champions League titles. I believe we are going in the right direction" - Enzo shared.
That belief existed even before Enzo signed the contract. "When Chelsea contacted me, I did not hesitate. I wanted to develop my career in the Premier League. I wanted to come to Chelsea at all costs and did not want to miss that opportunity.
Everyone knows this, and thank God everything has come true. Now I am here and I am very happy" - the Argentine international added.
Although the departure of Enzo Maresca has brought more instability, it cannot be denied that Chelsea is very close to a stable and sustainable foundation, if they are patient enough to complete the reconstruction process.
In that context, selling one of the most important pillars to the opponents they want to compete with will send a contradictory message. That is not the path for Chelsea to move into the next chapter of the revival process.
Besides Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain considers Enzo a long-term goal as the reigning Champions League champion wants to build a more competitive squad after his performance declined compared to expectations this season.
