"Asked if he would be at Chelsea next season, Fernandez said: 'I don't know. My focus is here for now. We have eight Premier League matches to play and the FA Cup. Then, the World Cup coming up, so we'll see after that.'"
"Fernandez, who is Chelsea's vice-captain, has both played (45) and started (40) the most games for the Blues in all competitions this season, not including the Club World Cup. His 18 goal involvements ranks second in Chelsea's squad, behind Joao Pedro (24), while only the Brazilian (18) can better Fernandez's tally of 12 goals."
"Asked about Fernandez's comments, Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior said: 'I haven't seen that. It's hard for me to speak on speculation after a game and I need to focus right now on the most important things, which is making sure we get a result against Everton on Saturday.'"
Enzo Fernandez cast doubt on his future at Chelsea following the club's 8-2 aggregate Champions League elimination by Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentine midfielder, who joined from Benfica in 2023, stated he is uncertain about staying beyond this season. Fernandez has been instrumental for Chelsea this campaign, appearing in 45 matches and starting 40, with 12 goals and six assists. His 18 goal involvements rank second in the squad. Despite his uncertainty, Fernandez indicated his immediate focus remains on Chelsea's remaining eight Premier League matches and FA Cup commitments before the World Cup. Coach Liam Rosenior declined to address speculation following the defeat.
