Chelsea’s summer truly got into gear with the signing of Morgan Rogers for a British record fee this week – but there are still big questions over some big players.
Enzo Fernandez is on his post-World Cup holiday, but questions about his future aren’t going anywhere. Our writer Simon Phillips has put out an exclusive on his Substack today which has some very interesting new information about the Argentine’s future.
Enzo still has interest from major clubs despite Real Madrid withdrawal
After Real Madrid removed themselves from the equation, it’s felt likely that Enzo is just going to have to suck it up and play for Chelsea next season. But Phillips claims that his chances of leaving aren’t dead yet. He claims that Atletico Madrid are still “a club to watch” and that Man City “is still possible,” with former Chelsea and now Man City boss Enzo Maresca “driving that.”
Other clubs could yet get involved, although it’s hard to see who can afford Enzo at Chelsea’s £100m+ asking price. The midfielder has two more weeks of holiday, then things will start to get really interesting.
In other news…
Morgan Rogers is a Blue, and the idea that Xabi Alonso has for this team is gradually growing more clear as the pieces fall into place.
Fabrizio Romano has made it clear that Valentin Barco is still going to be a Chelsea player before long – the deal is “100% agreed,” and it’s just a matter of confirming it.
Awesome, lol. He had news like this, even better ones, with Real—and what came of it? Plus, Chelsea shouldn’t be dealing with City, so he can keep on dreaming.
