Xabi Alonso has made clear Chelsea’s very different opinions on the respective futures of Enzo Fernández and Alejandro Garnacho, determined to keep one but seemingly happy to see the back of the other during the remainder of the summer transfer window.
In his first press conference as Chelsea manager—a job title that crucially differs to all his predecessors going back a decade—Alonso shed light on what could happen. The Spaniard officially began work earlier this month and has had a little time to get his feet under the rug. Ultimately, he stands to have significantly more power and influence than Enzo Maresca ever did.
