Enzo Fernández is again from his post-World Cup holidays and again in coaching with Chelsea this week. Additionally again are the rumors linking him with a possible exit, although the Actual Madrid angle from earlier this summer time has now been changed by quite a lot of Manchester Metropolis chatter.
Metropolis are after all now managed by Enzo Maresca, who departed Chelsea midway by final season beneath somewhat acrimonious circumstances, which have been ultimately settled by attorneys final month. So clearly, there’s no love misplaced between the 2 golf equipment for the time being, which is evidenced by our obvious robust stance round any potential Enzo shenanigans.
Based on The Athletic, and lots of others, Chelsea have set 5pm British Summer time Time on Friday, August 14, 2026 — so, like, in lower than two days — because the deadline for Metropolis, or some other group, to ship a suggestion that will meet our valuation, which stays at a powerful £120m. And never a minute late and never a penny much less!
The report provides that this stance, now public, had earlier already been communicated to Metropolis and Enzo himself as effectively. So we should always all be on the identical web page, and may keep away from any humorous enterprise. Or at the least that’s the speculation. Ought to no acceptable bid be acquired by the deadline, then Enzo undoubtedly “is not going to be leaving the membership”. Once more, that’s a superb idea. We’ll see if it performs out in such an easy method if (when?) push involves shove.
I assume we higher begin the countdown clock.
