PSG not pursuing deal for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez
PSG not pursuing deal for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez Enzo Fernandez cast doubt over his Chelsea future when he said he did not know whether he would be at the club next season following the Blues’ Champions League defeat to Paris St-Germain . Although the Argentine subsequently said he was ‘ very comfortable at Chelsea ‘, reports suggest that he could be open to leaving the club. PSG and Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring Fernandez’s situation ahead of the summer transfer window.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has now dismissed claims linking the Chelsea star with PSG. He said on his YouTube channel : “Paris Saint-Germain are satisfied with their current midfield options, having also added Dro Fernandez to the squad in January. At the moment, they are not pursuing a deal for Fernandez.
” Romano added that manager Liam Rosenior and Chelsea consider Fernandez as a ‘very important player, a top player on the pitch, a leader, and a winner’. Chelsea also believe that his statement after the PSG’s defeat highlights his desire to win and not an indication that he wants to leave. Chelsea are also understood to be working on new contract terms despite the midfielder already being tied down until 2032 , as they look to end speculation over his future.
The 25-year-old would command an hefty fee if any club want his signature next summer. Chelsea will hope Fernandez can inspire an upturn in form after Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Everton left them three points behind the final Champions League qualification place. The FIFA Club World Cup holders need a strong finish to avoid missing out on Europe’s elite football competition next season.
