One Chelsea star has been heavily linked with exit recently. But, the player was earlier reported to have turned down the offer. However, latest reports suggest that he is now open to moving away in this summer window.
The star in question here is Enzo Fernandez who Chelsea signed in January 2023. The player had an amazing World Cup 2022 tournament with Argentina national team. This forced the West London club to pay £107 million to Benfica which was a british club record back then.
Fernandez has played a major role for Chelsea this season. He has scored 5 goals and picked 9 assists under Enzo Maresca. The Argentine has played mainly as central or holding midfielder. However, the Italian coach has also used him as attacking midfielder when needed.
Enzo Fernandez to leave Chelsea in summer?
Chelsea have no intention to let Fernandez leave this summer. The player has interest from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. The Blues have tied Fernandez with contract running until 2032. Hence, they will only consider selling the Argentine for a fee of more than £80 million.
Earlier in the international break, several Argentine players who play for Atletico tried to convince Fernandez to join them. But, it was reported that Fernandez turned down the offer. The 24 year old was said to be very happy in West London and want to continue for long-time.
However, another twist has now arrived in the story. According to TBR Football, Enzo Fernandez is willing to leave Chelsea this summer. He is keen to move to Spain where both Madrid clubs rate him highly. In this case, Chelsea will find it very hard to keep hold of him.

Real Madrid were said to be open to sell Tchouameni. Chelsea can view him as a potential replacement for Fernandez. One thing is for sure is that the Enzo Fernandez transfer saga is going to get more and more interesting in coming weeks.
