Chelsea are reportedly planning to spend big if Enzo Fernandez is sold this summer.<\/p>\n

Manchester City remain interested in signing the Argentina international despite failing to meet Chelsea’s Friday deadline for a \u00a3120m bid. The Blues have since insisted Fernandez is no longer available, but with two weeks still remaining in the transfer window, the situation could yet change.<\/p>\n

And should Chelsea sanction a late sale, they are not expected to settle for a low-cost replacement. According to Spanish outlet Diario AS, the club would target a high-profile midfielder to fill the void, with Bournemouth’s Alex Scott, Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton and Arsenal’s Martin Zubimendi among the names linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Chelsea’s stance on Fernandez remains clear, but the possibility of a blockbuster replacement suggests they are already considering what life without their midfield star could look like.<\/p>\n
