Faced with the prospect of losing the club’s talismanic vice-captain, Chelsea have reportedly set a $161.2 million (£120 million) asking price for Enzo Fernández.
Fernández has done little to downplay suggestions that he wants to leave Chelsea following the surprise exit of manager Enzo Maresca in January—a decision which left the Argentine playmaker “hurt.” The 2022 World Cup winner stoked the speculation surrounding a potential switch to Real Madrid to such an extent that Chelsea dished out a two-game ban to their own player.
