Look Out, Chelsea Fans: Enzo Fernandez Has Already Made His Feelings Clear Over PSG Move
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have emerged as serious contenders for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández, with reports indicating informal contact has already been made with his entourage for a potential summer transfer.[1][3][4][5]
Chelsea are in turmoil following the sacking of manager Enzo Maresca and the appointment of Liam Rosenior, creating an opportunity for PSG to target the Argentine World Cup winner.[1][2][4] Fernández, signed in a record-breaking €121 million deal three years ago, has made 145 appearances for the Blues but now faces uncertainty with his contract running until 2032.[1][2][3]
According to reliable Argentine source Uriel Lugt, PSG have Fernández "firmly in their sights" for next season, though no deal is expected in January—any move would likely happen in the summer.[3] L'Équipe, via Le10Sport, confirms PSG's interest, adding him to their shortlist amid Chelsea's struggles.[4]
However, the 24-year-old's feelings on a PSG switch appear mixed. While no direct quotes reveal outright rejection, his long-term commitment to Chelsea and adaptation challenges post-Maresca suggest openness to change. Speculation from local pundits hints he might push for an exit if the right offer arrives, potentially fetching a hefty fee.[3][6]
The transfer could spark controversy in France due to Fernández's past—celebrations after Argentina's 2022 World Cup win over France and alleged racist chants following the 2024 Copa América victory have damaged his reputation there.[4] Chelsea fans are urged to brace for a big decision, as PSG's long-game strategy under Luis Campos and Luis Enrique eyes the star amid the club's upheaval.[1][4]
Meanwhile, Chelsea plan a new center-back signing this window to support Rosenior, signaling broader squad changes.[1][2][6] Fernández's future remains a summer saga to watch.
