“More on” – Fabrizio Romano provides update on future of key Chelsea star | OneFootball

Chelsea have never considered a summer exit for Enzo Fernandez as part of their plans according to Fabrizio Romano.

Fernandez put in a man of the match performance against Tottenham on Thursday night as he scored the only goal of the game in second half.

The goal, his fifth of the season in the league moved Chelsea back into the top four with the race for Champions League football set to go to the wire.

Romano has now provided more clarity surrounding the situation as he revealed Chelsea’s plan for the 24-year-old.

He took to X.com and said:

“More on Enzo Fernández. Chelsea always considered him as important part of their plans, summer exit was never a possibility.

“Planning for midfield future includes Enzo and he’s also fully focused on reaching Champions League football with Chelsea.”

Enzo Maresca has praised Fernandez for his improvement and it’s clear a better understanding of his role is really helping his performances.

The Argentina international has really developed this season, and as well as his improvements on the pitch, he’s also developing into a leader and has captained the side on a number of occasions.
