🚨🇦🇷 Enzo Fernández x Chelsea | The Goodbye Gesture 👋
Fernández appeared to say farewell to Chelsea fans after the Sunderland defeat — and the transfer picture is becoming clearer.
• ⚪️ Real Madrid: Would welcome a bid — remains the dream destination
• 🔵 Manchester City: Informal and formative talks have taken place
• 🏆 UCL: Key factor — Fernández wants Champions League football, Chelsea’s poor season weakening their hand
• 🚫 Chelsea stance: Will not consider a sale at a book loss — the sticking point in any deal
📌 The desire to leave appears clear on both sides — the obstacle is Chelsea’s valuation. With £100M+ paid, they won’t sanction a sale that doesn’t protect the books.
