Enzo Fernandez has reached a breaking point at Chelsea. The situation around him has quickly turned tense in recent days.
However, the midfielder now looks ready to take a bold step. His future at Stamford Bridge is no longer secure.
Meanwhile, the Argentine missed Chelsea’s FA Cup quarter-final clash against Port Vale. He did not feature in the heavy win on Saturday.
At the same time, he will also miss the upcoming Premier League match against Manchester City. The club handed him a two-match suspension.
That punishment came after his recent comments. Fernandez openly questioned his future at Chelsea. He also criticised the decision to sack Enzo Maresca.
As a result, the situation has escalated quickly. Tension between the player and the club is now clear.
Meanwhile, reports from El Chiringuito (via GOAL) suggest a major development. Fernandez is preparing to take matters into his own hands.
The World Cup winner is now ready to submit a transfer request. He wants to force a move away from Chelsea this summer.
At the same time, his preferred destination has already been identified. He wants to join Real Madrid.
However, the situation is not straightforward. Chelsea remain in a strong position.
Meanwhile, the club are expected to demand £130 million for his transfer. That price could complicate any potential deal.
At the same time, Fernandez signed a long-term deal when he joined in 2023. His contract runs for eight and a half years. The club are also ready to offer him a new deal.
Still, frustration around him continues to grow. His agent, Javier Pastore, has already criticised the club. He claimed Chelsea have frozen the midfielder out of the squad.
Despite everything, his numbers at Chelsea remain strong. He has made 161 appearances and scored 28 goals. He has also won the UEFA Conference League and the Club World Cup.
