Chelsea star could yet sign new contract – but summer bids could change everything Enzo Fernandez and Chelsea could yet agree a new contract, according to reports from TeamTalk over the weekend.

After a big win on Saturday it was a quiet Sunday at Chelsea – but there was some big news around Enzo Fernandez.

TeamTalk published a story from their top transfer man Graeme Bailey which claimed that Chelsea are still willing to hand their wantaway midfielder a new contract despite recent tensions. Talks have “reached a standstill”, and seemed to break down over the level of wage improvement the Argentine wants. But there’s still plenty of opportunity to get things back on track.

Chelsea will be desperate to secure the midfielder’s long term future, not only to keep their £100m asset on the books, but also to show the rest of the squad that this project is going somewhere. Enzo and Chelsea may have to make uncomfortable compromise We certainly haven’t ruled out Enzo signing a new deal and staying, and his bridges haven’t been totally burned. A lot will depend on what happens in the summer – if there is a lack of interest from top teams in buying him, he will have to accept that a raise is the best he’ll get.

In other news… After the win on Saturday, Liam Rosenior praised Cole Palmer’s performance, in particular his work ethic. Post-game, Rosenior tried to calm things around the trip to Wembley, pointing out that it was just business as usual for Chelsea – or at least should be.
