Sources: Chelsea likely to accept transfer bid for "unhappy" superstar | OneFootball

Chelsea are likely to accept transfer offers for Enzo Fernandez this summer as he’s become increasingly unsettled at the club.

As first reported here for the Daily Briefing, the Argentina international is ideally someone the Blues would try to keep, but there’s also an acceptance that he’s not happy.

There is also genuine interest from Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants long being in the market for that profile of midfield player.

Fernandez now looks like an opportunity for Los Blancos, and he would also be keen to explore this option if possible.

As ever, though, an agreement is needed between the clubs, and Chelsea surely won’t let the former Benfica man go on the cheap.

What sources are saying about Enzo Fernandez to Real Madrid transfer

Having spoken to numerous well-placed sources in the industry, there’s definitely the sense that Chelsea are prepared to let Fernandez go if the money is right.

As previously reported, CFC have also already begun work on replacing the 25-year-old, though it won’t be easy for them to see off competition from the two Manchester clubs for Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson.

“There’s been uncertainty surrounding Enzo for some time,” one source said. “Chelsea would rather not sell, but they’re at the stage now where they’ll have to accept big offers because it’s just not worth keeping an unhappy player.”

“There haven’t been any direct talks yet, but clearly Enzo has caught wind of Madrid’s interest and he seems keen to explore that opportunity,” another source said.

Should Chelsea let Enzo Fernandez go?

Fernandez is one of the big faces of this Chelsea project, having joined in an exciting big-money move from Benfica a few years ago.

However, it would perhaps also be fair to say that he’s been a bit underwhelming overall, and if he’s not happy then it might be a good time to accept his departure and find a replacement who could do a better job anyway.

Chelsea fans will probably have mixed feelings about this as it’s taken them so long to build this squad, so they won’t want to see more upheaval this summer.

It also surely depends on what other players are realistically available in the months ahead, with someone like Anderson looking somewhat unrealistic, while others like Adam Wharton will also surely have a lot of suitors too.
