Enzo Fernandez has firmly put an end to speculation linking him with a summer switch to Paris Saint-Germain. There were reports in the last few days that the Ligue 1 champions were looking into a deal for the Argentine midfielder. Still, Fabrizio Romano has provided a clear update: Fernandez will not be leaving Stamford Bridge.
The Chelsea star, who came from Benfica in January 2023 for a then-British record fee, has been a key part of the club’s midfield rebuild. Romano stated that there have been no talks, bids, or negotiations with PSG and described the reports as “wide of the mark.” Fernandez’s position has only gotten stronger despite all the noise. Even when the Blues were going through rough patches, he remained committed to the project and was happy in West London.
Romano said:
“Understand Enzo Fernandez is a crucial part of Chelsea project, even when things were not going well. He is not leaving and he is very happy.”
This fits with what Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca wants. The Italian coach has put Fernandez at the centre of his plans for the 2025/26 season, as the Argentine is expected to play as a deep-lying playmaker next to Moises Caicedo. Chelsea’s top brass also sees Fernandez as an important part of the team’s long-term goals.
He won the World Cup with Argentina when he was only 24 years old. Now he wants to help Chelsea win back the Premier League and the Champions League. He has quickly adjusted to English football, and his impact on and off the pitch has grown a lot.
PSG Continue Chasing Other Players After Fernandez Snub
PSG are still in the news for their aggressive recruiting strategy, which includes going after high-profile players all over Europe, but they have not formally approached Fernandez. Sources close to the French champions say that the midfielder is not on their list of possible players, even though the media has been talking about it.
Chelsea fans can relax now that the season has started because their midfield general is not going anywhere. Fernandez is a key part of the club’s project, which he supports both publicly and privately. If PSG wants to improve their engine room, they’ll have to look elsewhere.
