Chelsea\u2019s summer transfer window has been dominated by talk of Enzo Fernandez wanting to leave the club, however an update from South America suggests he is starting to change his mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even before the window opened, Fernandez<\/a> has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid, with the player himself admitting his admiration for the city.<\/p>\n

\n

However, up to now there has been no offer from the Spanish giants to sign him, and although there is interest from Manchester City, no contact has been made between the two sides.<\/p>\n

Enzo Fernandez now open to staying at Chelsea<\/h2>\n

South American journalist Cesar Luis Merlo has given an update on the midfielder\u2019s future with the Premier League season just two weeks away.<\/p>\n

Despite popular belief, he told MVP Sports<\/a> that Fernandez does not want to leave the club, and is actually happy at Chelsea<\/a> if no significant bid comes in.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cEnzo Fernandez does not want to leave Chelsea, he\u2019s actually happy there, it\u2019s just that if an offer comes that suits both parties, he will consider it. Chelsea, at the very minimum, wants to recover the fee they paid for him to join. <\/p>\n

\u201cI asked people close to him about City, and they said nothing as of today, it\u2019s just speculation because common sense dictates this link between Maresca and Enzo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fernandez and Enzo Maresca<\/a> had a strong relationship at Stamford Bridge<\/a>, and the Italian could be on the lookout for a new midfielder for his starting XI soon.<\/p>\n

Rodri is pushing for a move to Barcelona, and on paper Fernandez looks like a perfect replacement for the Spaniard if he does depart.<\/p>\n

Xabi Alonso only wants \u2018four or five\u2019 centre-backs next season\u2026<\/p>\n

Xabi Alonso needs Enzo Fernandez answers<\/h2>\n

Alonso is just starting to work on tactical shape<\/a> with his Chelsea side, although his starting XI to face Fulham will depend on if Fernandez is still at the club.<\/p>\n

It has already become clear that the boss doesn\u2019t have full faith in options like Romeo Lavia and Dario Essugo<\/a>, with 16-year-old Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli getting plenty of minutes during pre-season.<\/p>\n

A Fernandez exit would need Chelsea to invest in another new midfielder, and the closer that time gets to deadline day the more difficult those deals will be to pull off.<\/p>\n

The Blues would love for this saga to be sorted soon, and there is now some confidence amongst supporters that he could stay at the club.<\/p>\n
