Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez continues to be a huge talking point in the world of football.

Fernandez was, of course, sent off in the World Cup final, making Argentina’s difficult task of beating Spain an impossible one.

As well as that, it has become public knowledge that Fernandez wants to leave Chelsea this summer.

Enzo Fernandez’s red card in World Cup final has split Chelsea fan base

Understandably, some Chelsea fans have had enough with all the trouble Fernandez has caused.

Following his red card against Spain, The Chelsea Chronicle asked Chelsea supporters what message they would send to Fernandez. Some were not too kind!

On TalkingPoints, one Chelsea fan said: “He’s caused far too much disruption in the squad. This last little bit for me is enough and personally don’t want to see him in a Chelsea shirt again.”

Another wrote: “He is an idiot and an average player at best. We should sell him.”

However, not every Chelsea supporter wants to see Fernandez depart, which is not a complete surprise. After all, the 25-year-old is still one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

One more supportive TalkingPoints user said: “I love Enzo Fernandez… my message to you, think about Chelsea next season. Red card, sorry that happened to you.”

Another posted: “He should work hard not to repeat the mistake again.”

While Fernandez is hoping to leave Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes, no one has actually submitted a bid for him yet.

Despite speculation, Real Madrid went public to deny interest in Fernandez, so he does not have too many options right now. If you want to get involved in the debate, you can do so below:

Enzo Fernandez’s future at Chelsea becoming untenable

While Fernandez does not seem to have any suitors presently, an exit is still becoming increasingly likely.

His behaviour at the World Cup has angered Chelsea’s English supporters, while the interviews he has given about his future have annoyed the entire Chelsea fan base.

The Blues’ valuation of Fernandez is thought to be £120m, which appears to be the sticking point for clubs.

He is worth that fee, but at this rate, Chelsea may have to bring the price tag down a bit and help facilitate a move away from Stamford Bridge. It is likely to be in everyone’s best interests. It is a shame, but that is where Chelsea are with Fernandez at the moment.
