Enzo Fernández has informed Chelsea of his desire to leave the club, with the Argentine midfielder seeking a new challenge.
What's behind Enzo Fernández's decision?
The player's representatives have already established contact with Real Madrid, who are reportedly Enzo Fernández's preferred destination.
Chelsea has no intention of giving him away, and the club's position remains clear: Enzo Fernández will only leave if a club submits an enormous offer.
The asking price has reportedly already been communicated to both the player's camp and potential suitors: €120 million.
How will this affect Chelsea's new project?
The new project led by Xabi Alonso is already facing a major headache, with the potential loss of one of the team's biggest stars before the season even begins.
Enzo Fernández produced 15 goals and seven assists in the recent season, and his departure would be a significant blow to the team.
What are the potential destinations for Enzo Fernández?
Real Madrid is the priority destination for Enzo Fernández, but the Spanish giants are reportedly reluctant to spend €120 million on the player.
Manchester City is also monitoring the situation, with Enzo Maresca viewing the Argentine as an ideal player to strengthen City's midfield.
The Premier League champions have the full backing of Enzo Maresca, but they also seem reluctant to meet Chelsea's valuation.
Enzo Fernández's future is quickly becoming one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer, with several top clubs interested in signing the player.
The Argentine midfielder has already made a decision about his future, and it remains to be seen which club will eventually sign him.
