Enzo Fernandez, 23, is reportedly eager to leave Chelsea, despite his record-breaking transfer from Benfica less than a year ago.
Despite Moises Caicedo’s higher transfer fee of £115 million, Fernandez held the title of the Premier League’s most expensive player upon joining last summer in a £100 million deal.
Despite high expectations, Fernandez has faced criticism for underwhelming performances alongside Caicedo.
Despite holding a World Cup winner’s medal, Fernandez is said to be discontent at Stamford Bridge due to the team’s underperformance, making him a scapegoat.
However, with an eight-year contract still in place, his departure from Chelsea seems unlikely unless a club matches or surpasses the initial transfer fee.
It is challenging to believe that a player of Fernandez’s caliber is satisfied with the current situation.
Despite being highly regarded by Chelsea, he has not lived up to expectations, leading to speculation about his future.
Chelsea’s strong negotiating position, coupled with the long contract duration, makes it improbable for Fernandez to leave unless a substantial offer is presented.
