"I had a great conversation with Enzo at length this morning before training, not just about his comments but how he is feeling, how as a team we can improve. He is one of the captains at the club and what I will say is that he made it really clear how happy he is here at this club, how much he wants to win and how passionate he is for us to be successful."
"He also said that in translation and in emotion, things get misconstrued. For me, he is fully committed to this group and to winning here at this football club."
"When asked if he would be with the club next season following Chelsea's 3-0 defeat by Paris St-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday, Fernandez told ESPN: 'I don't know.' The 25-year-old added: 'There are eight games left and the FA Cup. There's the World Cup and then we'll see.'"
Enzo Fernandez sparked uncertainty about his Chelsea future after responding "I don't know" when asked if he would remain at the club following their 3-0 Champions League defeat to Paris St-Germain. The 25-year-old midfielder, signed for a British record £107 million in January 2023, mentioned upcoming World Cup commitments and eight remaining games before deciding his next steps. Manager Liam Rosenior addressed the comments, stating he had an extensive conversation with Fernandez and confirmed the player is happy at Chelsea and fully committed to the club's success. Rosenior attributed the ambiguity to translation and emotional miscommunication. Chelsea's elimination from the Champions League at the last-16 stage, combined with recent Premier League losses, has created pressure on the club.
