Despite Chelsea’s struggles and possible Champions League miss, midfielder Enzo Fernandez remains firmly committed to the club. Dismissing recent departure rumors, the Argentinian star emphasized his happiness and gratitude towards Chelsea.
“I don’t know where those rumours came from. Social networks I think. I totally deny it. I don’t want to leave Chelsea, I’m very happy here,” Fernández told ESPN.
“Since the first day they [Chelsea] have treated me wonderfully, I am very grateful.
“Regardless of what happens in football, I am grateful and I am happy at Chelsea. I will continue [here] as long as they want.”
Despite Chelsea’s struggles and possible Champions League miss, midfielder Enzo Fernandez remains firmly committed to the club. Dismissing recent departure rumors, the Argentinian star emphasized his happiness and gratitude towards Chelsea.
Joining Chelsea in January 2023 after their World Cup triumph, Fernandez has grown steadily, scoring his seventh goal this season against Crystal Palace. Recognizing his initial hiccups, he highlighted his rediscovery of form and praised the trust he receives from teammates and staff.
Monday’s result left Chelsea 13 points adrift of fourth place Tottenham, who hold the
last Champions League qualifying spot.
“I’ve been improving the past few months,” Fernandez said.
“I had started the season very well, then I had some ups and downs, but now I am finding myself again, finding that feeling of being well again. [I’m] grateful to my teammates and the coaching staff, who fully trust me, and to continue on this path, which is important.”
“The victory at Crystal Palace is worth a lot to us,” he said.
“Last week we defeated Aston Villa in the FA Cup. We are changing our attitude above all, and obviously this victory gives us confidence for what follows.
“The Premier League is very demanding. Throughout the season, we’ve had ups and downs in the league and that is why we find ourselves a little far away of the first places.
“But there is a long way to go, we have trust in our work, in a new team, and day by day we are improving to be able to meet the objective, we want to play in the Champions League next year.”
