Enzo patches things up with Chelsea and stays in London | OneFootball

After being suspended for two matches over his comments about Madrid, midfielder Javier Pastore’s representative confirmed that they cleared things up with the club’s hierarchy. “It was a misunderstanding, he’s the captain and wants to stay,” assured El Flaco.

What started as an offhand remark in an interview ended up escalating into a conflict that left Enzo Fernández sidelined for two matches. The Scaloneta midfielder had said on Luzu that, if he had to choose a city to live in, he would pick Madrid because of how similar it is to Buenos Aires. In England, where nothing gets a pass, they took it as a slight against Chelsea and a nod to Real Madrid.

However, the one who stepped up and calmed things down was his representative, Javier Pastore. “El Flaco” admitted that they sat down with the Blues hierarchy to defuse the situation: “We made peace yesterday and the day before. We explained to the club that he said it without any bad intention, that he made a mistake and, naturally, he apologized to everyone,” explained the former Huracán man.

For Pastore, the issue was blown way out of proportion by the media. “He still has six years left on his contract and the club needs him,” the representative said firmly.

At 25, “Gardelito” remains a key piece for a Chelsea side fighting tooth and nail to qualify for the next Champions League. With the 2026 World Cup just around the corner, what the midfielder needs most is playing time and peace of mind. For now, the conflict is in the past, and Enzo is ready to put the captain’s armband back on and pull the strings for the team at Stamford Bridge.
