In the dynamic world of football, Kylian Mbappe’s journey over the past three years has been characterized by uncertainty.
While he extended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain just two years ago, discussions about his future have resurfaced as his deal approaches its conclusion this summer. Enzo Fernandez, a player for Chelsea, has now added his voice to the speculation surrounding Mbappe’s next destination.
Responding to an Instagram poll asking fans to choose the league where Mbappe should play next, Enzo Fernandez expressed his desire to see the French superstar in the Premier League.
However, his inclination toward Mbappe’s transfer to Chelsea comes with a unique twist – the Argentine midfielder and the PSG star don’t share a particularly amicable relationship outside of football. This strained dynamic stems from their clash in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final, where tensions ran high between the French and Argentine players.
In a revealing interview, Enzo Fernandez recounted his encounter with Mbappe during the intense final. He recalled vivid details about the game and the exchanges with Mbappe, noting that the PSG forward made gestures implying harm while the Argentine players were celebrating.
Mbappe also confidently asserted that his team would emerge victorious. The final itself was marked by excitement, culminating in a heated confrontation between the French and Argentine players.
Enzo Fernandez shed light on another intriguing incident involving Cristian Romero’s celebration in front of Mbappe.
The Argentine player acknowledged being part of a confrontation and humorously mentioned having a “crazy” teammate, Cuti, to protect him. When Argentina scored, Romero initiated a celebration directly in front of Mbappe, further fueling the intensity of the rivalry.
As the speculation around Mbappe’s future intensifies, Enzo Fernandez’s desire for him to join Chelsea adds an intriguing layer to the narrative, given the complex history between the Argentine midfielder and the French star.
The football world awaits the resolution of Mbappe’s contractual situation and the unfolding of potential transfers, with Chelsea emerging as a notable contender in Enzo Fernandez’s wishful scenario.
