Enzo Fernandez’s future at Chelsea has come under scrutiny after he was left out of the starting XI in their recent match against Manchester United. Manager Enzo Maresca selected Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia instead, citing their physicality as a preferred attribute for the game.

Fernandez, however, remains determined to compete for his place in the team despite the setback. Sources indicate the midfielder has no desire to sit on the bench long-term, raising questions about his role at the club.Meanwhile, European powerhouses Inter Milan and Barcelona are closely monitoring Fernandez’s situation. Signed from Benfica in 2023 for a British record fee of £107 million, the Argentine has faced criticism for his performance at Chelsea.

TalkSPORT’s Rory Jennings has recently labeled him as one of the “worst” signings in Premier League history, suggesting he should never play for Chelsea again. Nevertheless, Maresca has expressed sympathy, acknowledging the challenges Fernandez faces in living up to his record-breaking transfer fee amid personal difficulties.
