Emmanuel Petit, the former Chelsea midfielder, has pointed to Enzo Fernandez as the player most likely to depart Stamford Bridge this summer, following the appointment of Xabi Alonso as head coach.
According to Petit, the Argentine World Cup winner has grown disillusioned with life at Chelsea and should be allowed to leave. “Enzo Fernandez needs to go. You cannot keep a player content if he wants out,” Petit told BetVictor.
He added: “The midfielder has openly stated his desire to leave and was fined by the club as a result. It’s obvious he’s had enough. We’re not blind. I believe he is sick and tired of the turmoil at Chelsea. This season has been a disaster. Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid are monitoring him. They urgently need to reinforce their midfield. I wouldn’t be shocked if he ends up at Real Madrid or another club.”
