Enzo Fernandez in bombshell statement as Chelsea transfer hinted minutes after PSG loss

Chelsea crashed out of the Champions League as they were put to the sword by Paris Saint-German and Enzo Fernandez has since cast uncertainty over his future at the club

Enzo Fernandez said 'we'll see' when asked about his Chelsea future following the Blues' Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain. The west London side were unable to turn around a 5-2 deficit at Stamford Bridge as they lost 3-0 at home to crash out of Europe.

And tasked with picking up his team to make a push to qualify for the Champions League once again, Liam Rosenior has now seen conversation turn to the future of one of his star players.

Enzo Fernandez was signed for £106.8million as one of the early signings under the BlueCo ownership, but doubt now continues to be placed on the direction of the club and the Argentine's future could also come under scrutiny.

“I don’t know, there are eight games left and the FA Cup. There’s the World Cup and then we’ll see," Fernandez is reported to have said on ESPN Argentina.

Fernandez wore the captain's armband in Reece James' absence against PSG, and the World Cup winner has been integral to the Blues' successes this season. The 25-year-old has bagged 12 goals and provided six assists in 45 appearances this term.

The midfielder showed his frustrations to Filip Jorgensen's error in the first-leg defeat against PSG, but saw his head coach, Rosenior, liken his mentality to Roy Keane.

"As a player with passion, he wants to win. Roy Keane did that, probably," Rosenior said. "Roy Keane was my manager, but Roy Keane as a player probably did that 20 times a game. I want a team with a culture of accountability where we can demand from each other in the moment.

"Enzo loves Filip, Enzo wants the best for him, Enzo believes in him. In that moment he was frustrated with something that happened, and that's normal, isn't it?"

Asked about the comments following the loss against PSG, Rosenior said: "Firstly, I haven't seen that.

"It's hard for me to speak on speculation after a game and I need to focus right now on the most important things, which is making sure we get a result against Everton on Saturday."

Fernandez helped Chelsea to Conference League and Club World Cup successes last summer but the Blues are struggling to improve upon that performance this season.

They are currently fighting for Champions League qualification once again, with the only silverware on the table being the FA Cup, where Chelsea face Port Vale in the quarter-final.

Speaking last month, Fernandez said he was proud of his Chelsea career so far. ‘The truth is that I'm really proud of my three years here," he said.

"Bbecause I arrived at a very difficult time for the club with many changes and coaches coming and going, but I'm happy with how things are going.

"Even though there has been a recent change of coach, football is always like this. I try to adapt to whatever the team needs at any given moment to help the club.

"I always give my all every day to help my team-mates. I feel like I'm doing very well on a personal level, and hopefully we'll end this season with one or two trophies."
