Enzo Fernández speaks on the Manchester City transfer saga
Reporter: Chelsea set a hard Friday deadline — £120m or nothing. How close is a move to Man City?
Enzo: “Close enough that the questions never stop. Far enough that I’m still training here tomorrow. The interest is real. The deadline is real. Right now I just put the boots on and work.”
Reporter: You’ve worked with Enzo Maresca before. Does that change things?
Enzo: “Of course. He knows how I think on the pitch. That connection matters. But a transfer is never only about one coach. It’s about the project and whether you can still grow.”
Reporter: Some Chelsea fans feel you’ve already checked out.
Enzo: “I understand the emotion. I’ve given everything in this shirt. If I stay, I’m 100%. If I leave, I leave with respect. There is no half version of me.”
Reporter: Can you fully reset if the deal doesn’t happen?
Enzo: “Yes. I’ve done it before. Football moves fast. Friday comes, and if nothing changes, my only focus is helping this team win.”
Back 🟡🔵 — and looking every bit the machine.
Ronaldo just dropped the simplest, most CR7 post possible after returning to Al-Nassr training: four photos of him locked in, sweating, focused, still built like he refused the memo about age. No long caption, no drama. Just “Back” with the club colors.
This is exactly him returning to what he knows how to do better than almost anyone alive. After the World Cup rollercoaster (the “I’m back” moment against Uzbekistan, the records, the eventual exit), he’s back in the Saudi grind: training under lights, hurdles, the daily work. The body still looks ridiculous for 41. The intensity in those shots is pure Ronaldo — the same guy who’s been doing this for over two decades.
Fans are already hyped about the 1000-goal chase and the new season under Ange Postecoglou. He’s expected around Matchday 2 (vs Al-Riyadh on the 21st). Classic. The man takes his time when he needs it, then shows up ready to work.
No retirement vibes here. Just the GOAT doing GOAT things in yellow and blue again. The football world is better when he’s in this mode.
Alonso on Palestra: “For sure is having a great impact. You see his power. He repeats up and down, big stamina, quality as well on the last third. So we are impressed with him… He's a flexible player so it's going to be very interesting to work with him.” [@BobbyVincentFL] #Chelsea
🚨Alonso: “We have two more [Friendlies] before we go back to London and then we will be the ones that will start the season.” [@BobbyVincentFL] #Chelsea
Mudryk cleared and is heading to Hong Kong — fair play.
But after nearly 20 months out, throwing him straight into Premier League intensity feels risky. A solid loan (a Championship or solid European side) to get full match fitness, confidence, and rhythm would make way more sense before he fights for a spot at Chelsea. Protect the asset, rebuild properly. #Mudryk #Chelsea #Misha
🔵🇺🇦 Mykhaylo Mudryk travels on Sunday to Hong Kong to re-join Chelsea with immediate effect.
Chelsea statement. ⤵️
“We know how much this opportunity to return means to him. Our focus now is on supporting Misha’s reintegration into the squad and helping him resume his career. Everyone at the Club now looks forward to helping Misha return to full fitness, back into the squad and back onto the pitch”.
Keep Josh Acheampong. Homegrown, versatile (RB/CB), already proven at the top level, and a future Chelsea cornerstone. Selling him would be pure self-sabotage.
Do you agree with me? #chelsea#cfc
🚨🔵Liam Delap wants to stay at Chelsea and fight for his place but with the arrival of Welbeck, no European football & Joao Pedro being untouchable, thé prospect of him staying is looking difficult.

🚨🔵 Jamie Gittens:
"I want to succeed here. I need to show people what I can do. I will keep working hard. I have shown glimpses, small bits. But this season will be a good season."
