One of the most devastating moments of last night’s defeat to PSG came after full time. Chelsea fans had once again been confronted with the reality of how far away their team is from the top sides in Europe. But then Enzo Fernandez’s words about considering his future made fans feel like they might be about to get even further away.

But what would it actually take for the Blues to sell one of their top assets? Sky Sports’ piece on his future claims to know.

Sky’s claims about Fernandez’s future make imminent move feel unlikely

“Specifically in the case of Fernandez, it is believed that Chelsea won’t sell for any less than his book value as to not make a PSR loss,” they write.

“The book value being what his initial transfer fee, minus what they have paid in regards to the value of his full contract. At this moment, that would be just under £80m.”

Even at £80m, there are very few clubs around Europe who would be willing or able to pay that much. And most of them are already well stocked in central midfield. For now, we’re not too worried about losing Fernandez, simply because we can’t see there being major offers for him.

If Fernandez does leaves, it looks like a replacement is already being lined up. There are a lots of rumours about Valentin Barco coming in.

Chelsea are getting leaks from within the dressing room and Sky think someone is trying to take down Liam Rosenior.
