Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez reportedly asked his club to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
The pair are international teammates in Argentina, and it appears that Alvarez is really eager to play alongside his fellowmen at the club level.
According to Fitches, Alvarez asked Atletico to sign Fernandez from Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Fernandez himself appears to be open to leaving Stamford Bridge, so it will be interesting to see if this deal goes anywhere.
According to Fichajes, one issue could be that Chelsea’s 80 million euros, and they’re looking for the price of Fernandez.
Should Chelsea sell Enzo Fernandez to Atletico Madrid?
Chelsea fans may be split into this story. Because many people find it worth keeping Fernandez.
The 24-year-old looked even more impressive with former club Benfica, but coming to the Premier League has proven to be a pretty step forward.
So, Chelsea can do well to win cash on Fernandez, but his stock remains relatively high, which could also be a dangerous move.
There is always a chance that Fernandez could still move his peak ahead of him, and if he spent those years at another major European club, that would be a blow to the CFC.
Still, if Fernandez is eager to leave, then it seems little point in keeping the unfortunate player against his will.
A big sale of Fernandez could give Chelsea money to revamp the middle of this summer, potentially bringing an upgrade to the inconsistent Argentine International.
