Amid all the noise that Man City are attempting a late move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, the Blues have compiled a four-man shortlist to replace the Argentine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is believed that Chelsea<\/a> are going to receive a bid for Fernandez<\/a> soon, if they have not done so already. Some reports suggest the incoming bid is actually worth more than the \u00a3120m fee Chelsea had asked for.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s your DREAM Enzo Fernandez replacement if the Argentine leaves Chelsea? \ud83e\udd29<\/h3>\n

We want to know who and WHY?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Fernandez has an agreement in principle with Man City, and a move simply hinges on whether Chelsea and City can agree a fee. Fernandez\u2019s actions after full-time at Fulham<\/a> may tempt Chelsea to cash in.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are said to have drawn together a four-man list, as per TalkSPORT<\/a>. Adam Wharton and Alex Scott are long-term targets<\/a>, Roma ace Manu Kone is an option and so is Real Madrid\u2019s Eduardo Camavinga.<\/p>\n

Eduardo Camavinga has already been ruled out <\/h2>\n

Camavinga has fallen down the pecking order since Jose Mourinho was appointed manager. The Special One has only used Camavinga as a late sub in Real Madrid\u2019s wins over Espanyol and Real Sociedad.<\/p>\n

However, reports from Spain indicate that Camavinga has ruled out a move to Chelsea or Newcastle<\/a> and is looking to remain at Madrid until January at least. It is unclear how much Chelsea would have to pay.<\/p>\n

Now, Bournemouth star Alex Scott is off the table for Chelsea<\/h2>\n

With Fernandez linked with a move, Scott<\/a> is the pick of many supporters as the Argentine\u2019s replacement. Bournemouth rejected a \u00a364m bid from Chelsea<\/a> earlier this summer, and remain intent on keeping him.<\/p>\n

Any indication that a move might still have some hope has now been shut. Speaking today, Marco Rose confirmed he isn\u2019t going anywhere: \u201cI\u2019m not just confident; I\u2019m sure. 120% certain [he\u2019s staying].\u201d<\/p>\n

What are the chances of Kone or Wharton being signed?<\/h2>\n

That leaves Roma\u2019s France international Kone and England ace Wharton. Palace, like Bournemouth, do not want to sell Wharton, and given the fees midfielders are going for, he could be a \u00a3100m player currently.<\/p>\n

What type of reaction did Enzo Fernandez deserve on his return for Chelsea?\ud83e\udd14<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

It seems unlikely at this late stage. Kone, however, is available. Roma need to sell, and Kone is a candidate for a sale. Patrick Vieira said Kone is France\u2019s best midfielder right now<\/a>, so he could be the man to buy.<\/p>\n

What Chelsea fans will not accept is that the Blues sell Fernandez and fail to buy a replacement. It might be that a player not yet linked with Chelsea arrives in the next week. Big moves are now expected.<\/p>\n
