Enzo Fernández’s agent Javier Pastore says his client is ‘very happy’ at Chelsea, after a successful spell with the Premier League side.
The Argentina international arrived at Stamford Bridge from Benfica in January 2023.
He won the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup with Chelsea in 2025.
The Blues have appointed Xabi Alonso as their new manager, but the midfielder, despite being happy, is looking for a way out this summer.
Work ongoing for Chelsea summer exit
Friday’s edition of AS has published an interview with Javier Pastore, which is mainly about the 25-year-old.
After discussing Argentina’s run at the World Cup so far and the chances of defending their title, the focus is on Chelsea.
Chelsea, under BlueCo, have invested heavily to buy players and also sold some of them to make a profit.
AS highlight this and about the latest claims of uncertainty around Enzo Fernández’s future.
When responding to that, the representative explained the Blues and his client no longer have the same vision.
“It’s a club that often buys a lot of young talent and gives them playing time in the Premier League, as has happened with Enzo. Everyone has their own process and path to follow,” he said.
“He did very well at Chelsea. He’s won titles in three and a half years. He’s very happy, but the time comes when you have to follow the player’s path, and if he demands things that the club can’t provide, you have to find solutions.”
The agent sais “yes [I’ve been looking for a solution]” but has put it on hold so that he can focus on the World Cup.

Last week, Sport Witness relayed news that Real Madrid want Enzo Fernández, and he is also keen on joining them.
Javier Pastore now confirms Real Madrid like the South American and the Chelsea star is also in favour of this option.
“Yes, Real Madrid have been mentioned. Real Madrid likes the best players, and Enzo has been one of the best this year. He’s a player Real Madrid likes, and he likes Real Madrid, as he also likes other clubs in the market. Now we just have to wait a little while,” Pastore explained.
The agent is aware a potential deal won’t be cheap for Real Madrid or his other suitors.
“If you look at the transfers in recent days, they’re all around €90m or €100m,” he added.
“Player prices are very high, and his is certainly very high too, but that’s because of what he’s shown, how he’s grown, and what he’s created over these years. That’s why he’s worth that much. Some clubs will be able to afford him, and others will find it a bit more difficult. We’ll be available and working to try and reach an agreement.”
