Chelsea reveal new Enzo Fernandez transfer stance ahead of deadline amid talk of Man City £102.5m bid

Chelsea have not yet received any bids for Enzo Fernandez and are not open to selling the midfielder until next summer at the earliest, if Friday’s deadline passes without any formal offers.

The Blues have set a hard deadline of 5pm BST on Friday (August 14) by which time bids for the Argentina international must have been submitted, otherwise they will not sanction his sale until summer 2027 at the earliest. That means a sale would not be considered by Chelsea in January.
