Chelsea is considering selling Enzo Fernández in the upcoming summer transfer window since the Argentine midfielder does not fit into the plans of coach Enzo Maresca. Despite being a world champion and a high-priced signing, Fernández has been benched in recent Premier League matches, indicating a loss of prominence under the club's new technical direction.

Maresca has opted for a more physical midfield duo, consisting of Moisés Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, in recent matches against Liverpool and Newcastle, relegating Fernández to a secondary role. According to statements from the Italian coach, the preference for Caicedo and Lavia is due to the need for greater physical strength in midfield, which is considered essential to cope with the demanding pace of the Premier League. This situation puts the Argentine in a compromised position as Maresca has mentioned that the team's defensive balance is affected when Fernández takes on a more advanced position.

Chelsea Listens to Offers for Enzo Fernández

Fernández's high transfer fee of over 100 million pounds raises concerns among Chelsea's executives when he is not included in the starting eleven, as they expected an immediate impact from the young player. Maresca's statements suggest that the Argentine faces a challenging task to adjust his profile to the coach's tactical demands, something that could prove difficult given his inclination to play in a more creative and less physical role.

With these circumstances, Chelsea would be open to listening to offers for the world champion in the upcoming summer, leaving open the possibility of an exit for Fernández, who will surely seek a team that offers him more prominence and better suits his style of play.
