£80m offer still a losing proposition for Chelsea after huge investment on supposed “cornerstone” | OneFootball

Enzo Fernandez is starting to push to leave Chelsea, and podcasters are pretty realistic about how likely it is to happen this summer.

The London is Blue podcast are the latest people to take a look at Enzo Fernandez’s flirtations with Real Madrid over the weekend.

“I think he is genuinely looking at his future elsewhere because of where things have gone this year,” presenter Dan Verlaney said.

“He’s going to be really difficult to make any sort of money on. They bought him for £115m. If a club comes in for him at £80m, I guess you’ve amortised some of his value off the books.”

Enzo situation a no-win for Chelsea after major investment

The question then becomes if you’re just happy to break even on selling him. If he’s pushing to go and you think you can spend that money better elsewhere, maybe you do.

Even that is a wishful thinking to some degree – we have no idea if Madrid would offer £80m, let alone the £100m+ that we would need if we want to make any sort of book profit.
