Enzo Fernandez wants to leave Chelsea<\/a> after they failed to qualify for Europe, but the club will ask for \u00a3120m for the Argentina midfielder.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old, who joined Chelsea<\/a> from Benfica in 2023 for \u00a3107m, is under contract until 2032, which is reflected in the potential fee.<\/p>\n

The World Cup winner remains part of the club’s planning for next season, but Chelsea<\/a> would consider offers that meet their valuation.<\/p>\n

After scoring 15 goals and providing seven assists last season, Fernandez finished runner-up in Chelsea<\/a>‘s player of the season award.<\/p>\n

Javier Pastore, Fernandez’s agent, is exploring potential destinations, notably his preferred option of Real Madrid. <\/p>\n

Alternatives include Manchester City<\/a> – who are expected to appoint former Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca as Pep Guardiola’s successor<\/a> in the coming days – but their priority is signing Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, French club Paris St-Germain have downplayed the likelihood of a transfer despite having been linked with a move.<\/p>\n

Real are known to be unwilling to pay Chelsea<\/a>‘s asking price unless they are able to raise significant funds in player sales, having also been linked with a move for Manchester City<\/a> midfielder Rodri. <\/p>\n

Senior figures at Stamford Bridge accept they will need to invest in established, Premier League-ready talent for new manager Xabi Alonso after a disappointing season in which Chelsea<\/a> finished 10th and without a trophy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Enzo Fernandez wants to leave Chelsea after they failed to qualify for Europe, but the club will ask…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":606951,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-606950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
