Manchester City indeed tried to secure the services of Fernandez, by proposing an offer, estimated at 120 million pounds sterling ($163 million), but it was not presented before the deadline set by Chelsea, last Friday at 5 p.m. local time.

“Enzo is a Chelsea player, he is a player of very high quality,” underlined the Spanish coach. “He has been training very, very well since his arrival with the group, he has integrated perfectly. We are happy with him and he is preparing for the match on Monday. » Alonso's insistence on the quality of Enzo Fernandez and his integration within the team is clearly aimed at minimizing any negative impact of this saga on the atmosphere of the group, while the season has barely started.

In addition, Xabi Alonso also took stock of the general workforce of Chelsea, which welcomed nine recruits this summer. Despite the rigor of the transfer market and the many rumors, he believes he has a balanced group: “I'm very happy, we made a lot of good choices. We have a very good balance in terms of quality, personality, maturity, with players at different stages of their careers, all with real dynamism. We are in a good position. »

Chelsea are also actively working on the potential departure of a dozen players, some being offered for sale or on loan to make room in the group. This cleaning is crucial to leave the necessary margin for possible new arrivals before the end of August, even if Alonso is already satisfied with his current squad.

With Enzo Fernandez in full physical and mental preparation for the season, Chelsea hope to combine serenity and competitiveness, even if the transfer window still promises twists and turns.

The rest

Chelsea are preparing to face Fulham in the Premier League, and Enzo Fernandez's situation is likely to be closely monitored by the media and fans. If Manchester City still wishes to recruit the Argentine midfielder, they will have to act quickly before the transfer window closes on September 1. Meanwhile, Chelsea could consider finalizing further departures, with several players available for transfer or loan.
