Enzo makes peace with Chelsea, he's not leaving London | OneFootball

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

What started as an offhand comment in an interview ended up escalating into a conflict that left Enzo Fernández out of action 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 they don’t let anything slide, it was taken as a snub to Chelsea and a nod to Real Madrid.

However, the one who stepped up and tried to calm things down was his representative, Javier Pastore. “El Flaco” made it clear 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 bad intentions, that he made a mistake and, naturally, he apologized to everyone,” explained the former Huracán player.

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

At 25, “Gardelito” remains a key piece for a Chelsea side that is 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.
