Chelsea midfielder and 2022 World Cup star Enzo Fernandez is reportedly considering leaving the London club. This unexpected development just 12 months after making a £107m switch to Stamford Bridge from Benfica has surprised fans and club supporters.

The 23-year midfielder joined Chelsea after impressing at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, for a massive transfer fee. Despite spending a year and a half at the club, he hasn’t justified his high price. This season, he has made 28 appearances, scoring five goals and providing one assist, totaling 50 matches since joining. Chelsea’s poor performance, currently 11th in the league, has further fueled Enzo’s desire to leave.

The former Benfica star’s contract with the Blues runs until 2032. Moreover, any interested club would have to pay another huge fee to sign the player. Recent reports suggest that Fernandez’s agents have begun discussions with various clubs to explore potential opportunities for the talented midfielder. Concerns about Chelsea missing European football next season are complicating matters for Enzo.

There has also been increased pressure on the team, after losing 4-2 to Wolverhampton last week. Manager Mauricio Pochettino has also been under scrutiny due to the disappointing results, with calls for his dismissal.
