Overview
- Following an 8-2 aggregate loss to PSG, Enzo Fernández criticised the board for sacking Enzo Maresca mid-season and declined to guarantee he will stay, saying "we'll see."
- Liam Rosenior stated he met Fernández privately and was told the midfielder is happy and fully committed, adding that no player has told him they want to leave this summer.
- The head coach confirmed "detailed" recruitment talks with sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, stressing planning does not hinge solely on Champions League qualification.
- Multiple outlets report interest in Fernández from elite clubs such as Real Madrid and Manchester City, though these remain reports rather than confirmed moves.
- Spanish outlet Fichajes, cited by several publications, claims Chelsea are preparing for a possible Fernández exit and have identified Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson as a target, which is uncorroborated.
