Here is the latest update from the ongoing FIFA World Cup as of 2026-07-02 23:00:00.
Enzo Fernández’s agent has confirmed that the midfielder is considering leaving Chelsea this summer. Reports indicate that the club would demand around £120 million ($160 million) if Fernández attempts to force a departure.
According to ESPN, Chelsea anticipates that Fernández will report for pre-season training as usual after his holiday post-World Cup with Argentina. However, uncertainty surrounds his future, especially following comments from Javier Pastore about his potential move to Real Madrid.
Future Speculations
During an interview with Spanish outlet Marca, Pastore noted that the 25-year-old is currently focused on the World Cup, where Argentina is performing well. “Today the player is calmly thinking about the national team,” Pastore said. He emphasized that while they are looking at possibilities for a move from Chelsea, nothing substantial has been confirmed with any club.
Fernández is under contract with Chelsea until 2032, and the club is reluctant to part with such an important player. He has scored 19 goals and made 17 assists in 117 Premier League matches since joining from Benfica for £107 million in February 2023.
Last season, he faced disciplinary measures after expressing his affection for Madrid during an international break, a statement that Pastore criticized. “He has many friends there, including Julián Álvarez,” Pastore remarked, highlighting the tight-knit relationships Fernández maintains in the city.
Chelsea’s Transfer Activity
Pastore’s remarks come just a day after Xabi Alonso began his role as Chelsea’s new manager. Reports suggest that Chelsea is also interested in securing Granit Xhaka from Sunderland and plans to present an improved offer after an initial £8 million bid was declined.
