Things could be about to get really ugly between Enzo Fernandez’s agent and Chelsea.
Fernandez wants to leave Stamford Bridge, with his preference thought to be Real Madrid. In Spain, it has already been claimed that Fernandez and Real Madrid have agreed personal terms ahead of a possible move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, with neither Real Madrid nor any other club yet to agree a transfer fee with Chelsea, the Blues and Fernandez’s agent could be on a collision course.

Enzo Fernandez’s agent has promised he’ll get him a move
Fernandez’s agent, Javier Pastore, has already told his client that he will secure him a transfer, journalist Simon Phillips has claimed on Si Phillips Talks Chelsea.
There is definitely interest in Fernandez. The midfielder is wanted by Real Madrid, while Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with him.
Fernandez could have become a serious target for Manchester City as well, but the Citizens’ focus is on signing Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson.
It means Pastore has promised Fernandez a move without anyone even putting any sort of official offer on the table.
It is still early days, though, and for now the 25-year-old will be focusing on the World Cup.
Why Chelsea shouldn’t be bullied by Enzo Fernandez’s agent
Fernandez is a £100m midfielder with a contract until 2032. Chelsea are under no pressure to sell the Argentina international, and if the club choose to, they are well within their rights to ask for a gigantic fee.
After all, Anderson could cost more than £120m, and no one would argue that he is a better midfielder than Fernandez.
Ultimately, Chelsea should not let Pastore bully them into selling Fernandez and for a fee below his market value.
The former Benfica man has improved since he arrived in west London back in 2023. Chelsea should be looking to make a profit on him.
Again, if Forest can demand £120m plus for Anderson, why can’t Chelsea do the same thing?
