Truce in sight? Enzo Fernández's agent on Chelsea row: He didn't... | OneFootball

Another chapter is now known in the saga involving Enzo Fernández and Chelsea, all because of Real Madrid. In recent hours, the former Benfica midfielder reportedly apologized for his behavior, after the footballer was punished by the Blues, following remarks he made about the Spanish giants.

"He had no intention of causing problems or belittling Chelsea. He merely spoke about a city [he said he would like to live in the Spanish capital, as it reminded him of Buenos Aires]", began Javier Pastore, the Argentine’s agent, who is under contract with the London club until the summer of 2032.

"Then, in other interviews, he spoke about the future. The media then mixed everything together and started saying he was trying to leave Chelsea. Nothing like that!", continued the agent of the Argentina international, insisting that he would never disrespect the Londoners.

"The misunderstanding has been resolved. It was explained to the player that, although he had done nothing wrong, he should not have said that. The club was told that he made those remarks innocently", added Javier Pastore.

"Enzo apologized to the club, his teammates, the coach and the sporting director, of course", clarified the agent of the former Benfica star. "Chelsea are fighting for a place in the Champions League and need Enzo. As for the player, he needs to play because the World Cup is approaching…", Javier Pastore explained in comments to the international press.
