According to reports, Chelsea player Enzo Fernandez is dissatisfied at Stamford Bridge and is willing to quit if the club’s fortunes don’t improve under new boss Mauricio Pochettino.
The Blues spent £106.5 million to get the Argentine from Benfica in January 2022 because he is one of the most talented players at his position.
Despite signing a 10-year, £186,000-per-week deal with Chelsea, reports say Fernandez is already unhappy and wants to leave.
For what reason does Fernandez want to leave Chelsea?
A recent Spanish article claims that Fernandez is dissatisfied with the trajectory of his career at Chelsea.
In the Premier League last year, Chelsea ended in 12th position, a full 45 points behind champions Manchester City.
Chelsea are once again in last place in the league after four games, with just four points to show for their efforts.
According to reports, Fernandez is ready to leave the club if Mauricio Pochettino is unable to turn around the team’s fortunes after 18 months.
If Chelsea are unable to maximize their potential after spending €1 billion on new players since Todd Boehly replaced Roman Abramovich, the former Benfica star may be “seriously considering” a departure.
Could he be the answer to Liverpool’s problems in the defensive midfield?
Although Wataru Endo can play in either a box-to-box or a more defensive role at the base of the engine room, this summer Jurgen Klopp only signed no.8s to his roster.
Klopp will probably be able to use the resources at his disposal, but since Fabinho has departed, a specialist no. 6 is still desired.
Joao Palhinha, Cheick Doucoure, Moise Caicedo, and even the recently signed Sofyan Amrabat from Manchester United were all considered.
Fernandez would be a fantastic addition to Liverpool’s midfield because of his exceptional skills in both possession and play-breaking.
A nightmare of a transaction, considering that Chelsea has spread out its £106.5 million payment to Benfica over ten years owing to the duration of the player’s contract.
Despite agreeing to pay Brighton £111 million for Caicedo, FSG are hesitant to spend such a large sum on acquisitions.
