Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez has reportedly asked his club to sign want-away Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
The pair are Argentina international teammates, and it seems Alvarez is really keen to play alongside his fellow countryman at club level.
According to Fichajes, Alvarez has asked Atletico to sign Fernandez from Chelsea, with the La Liga giants also thought to be keen on the deal.
Fernandez himself, meanwhile, also seems to be open to leaving Stamford Bridge, so it will be interesting to see if this deal ends up going anywhere.
One issue, according to Fichajes, could be Chelsea’s €80m asking price for Fernandez, which might put suitors off.
Should Chelsea sell Enzo Fernandez to Atletico Madrid?
Chelsea fans will likely be divided on this story, as many will feel it’s worth keeping Fernandez, even if he hasn’t quite reached his best form for the club so far.
The 24-year-old looked a lot more impressive at former club Benfica, but it’s proven quite a step up for him coming to the Premier League.
Chelsea could therefore do well to cash in on Fernandez while his stock remains relatively high, though it might also be a risky move.
There’s always a chance that Fernandez could still have his peak years ahead of him, and it would be a blow for CFC if he spent those years at another major European club.
Still, if it’s true that Fernandez is keen to leave, then there seems little point in keeping an unhappy player against his will.
Selling Fernandez for big money could give Chelsea the funds to revamp their midfield this summer, potentially bringing in an upgrade on the inconsistent Argentina international.
Absolute nonsense
sell him and do that fast. very overrated player. he won’t be missed. Chelsea are better playing without him… wasted investment Bo
we can’t agree with what the team board are going to do with Enzo
Why not, if the club is going to make profit let it because that’s the focus of the investors not titles.Most of the fans are indifferent now,so who cares.Let them have their money and allow the manager to delude himself with his unproven football philosophy. The fact is, one day the fans will get back their Chelsea football club.😭😭😭
Chelsea should cash in. He doesn’t want to give his best because, there is too much difference between when playing for Argentina and Chelsea.
Because large portions of your players @ chelsea is shit & affects his delivery at times.. Unfortunately, Atleti cannot afford his wages either 😅
This must be a joke
Chelsea shouldn’t sell our best player now to another club.
Atletico are much than your small chelsea
Enzo should go and bring in Bruno fernadez
Enzo can go
Chelsea always loose anytime they do business with Madrid. No not Enzo. We sold Gallagher to and uptil now no replacement. Jao Felix bad deal
