€200m bid prepared: Chelsea braced for stunning Saudi transfer pursuit of star player | OneFootball

Chelsea could reportedly be set to receive bids as high as €200m for star midfield player Enzo Fernandez this summer.

The Argentina international is facing an uncertain future ahead of this summer, with transfer rumours now growing about interest from the Saudi Pro League.

According to Fichajes, Al Ittihad could be prepared to pay as much as €200m to tempt Chelsea into selling Fernandez this summer.

However, it remains to be seen if Fernandez would be ready to make such a move, with the report also mentioning interest from Paris Saint-Germain, who could probably also offer big money as well as the chance for the former Benfica man to carry on playing at a high level in Europe.

Enzo Fernandez’s future: what we know so far

Fernandez has not ruled out leaving Chelsea, which will certainly be a concern for some Blues fans after his fine form during his time at Stamford Bridge.

Simon Phillips has named Fernandez as one of a number of CFC players discussing moves away with their agents ahead of the summer.

However, Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has played this speculation down – you can read his full quotes here.

Chelsea looking for Enzo Fernandez replacements

Our understanding is that Chelsea have been open-minded about potentially needing to replace Fernandez for some time now.

One name the Blues are really keen on is Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, though there’s some suggestion that the two Manchester clubs are already further ahead in their pursuit.

Other names will surely come up, with Chelsea unlikely to let Fernandez go without having someone ready to come in and fill that void.

The 25-year-old was one of the major statement signings of the current club ownership, so it will likely take huge money to convince them to let him go.
