What did Enzo Fernandez say about Chelsea future?

During an interview on the Avirales YouTube channel, Fernandez expressed his dream to live in Spain.

“I’d like to live in Spain. I really like Madrid; it reminds me of Buenos Aires,” said Fernandez.

“Players live where they want. I’d live in Madrid. I get by in English, but I’d be more comfortable in Spanish.”

The comments came amid rumours of interest in the Argentine from Real Madrid, and follow a previous statement expressing uncertainty about his future.

“I don’t know,” Fernandez replied to ESPN Argentina.

“My focus is here [at Chelsea] for now. We have eight Premier League matches to play and the FA Cup. Then, the World Cup coming up, so we’ll see after that.”

“I spoke with Enzo about an hour ago,” Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior said about Fernandez’s comments on Friday.

“As a football club, with me as part of the decision, he won’t be available for tomorrow’s game or Manchester City next Sunday.

“It’s disappointing for Enzo to speak that way. I’ve got no bad words to say about him but a line was crossed in terms of our culture and what we want to build.”
