JAKARTA - Midfielder Enzo Fernandez really wants to leave Chelsea. Through his agent, Fernandez wants to move to Barcelona.

The issue that Fernandez had denied. The rebuttal of the Argentine national team player was revealed when he celebrated the goal he created in the FA Cup match against Aston Villa.

In a rematch at Villa Park, Thursday, February 8, 2024 in the morning WIB, Fernanez scored a beautiful goal with a free kick that solidified a 3-0 lead. Chelsea finally won 3-1 and qualified for the fifth round of the FA Cup.

After scoring a goal, Fernandez celebrated with his finger pointing at his head. Next, his radius pointed to the ground. Fernandez showed fans that he was staying at Chelsea. The player who helped Argentina win the 2022 World Cup said he would not leave the Blues. Fernandez's celebration was supported by manager Mauricio Pochettino who stated that the player was not a robot.

Of course, according to Pochettino, they were annoyed that they were the target of bullying and cursing because of the team's poor achievements. Moreover, Fernandez was then rumored to want to leave.

This 23-year-old player is often targeted by insults because he has not shown his best performance even though he has been bought at a high price. Fernandez became the most expensive player in England when he was bought for 106.8 million.

However, his record was later broken by his colleague Moises Caicedo, which Chelsea bought from Brighton and Hove Albion for 115 million.

The status of one of the most expensive players in England turned out to be Fernandez's burden. In fact, he is experiencing difficulties at an expensive cost of living in the city of London.

This then raises rumors that Fernandez wants to leave Chelsea based in the city. Although the issue was denied, the news from Spain seemed to justify it. It turns out that the number 8 player wants to move to Barcelona.

The news was revealed by the barcacentre account on social media X (Twitter). Through his agent, Fernandez himself offered himself to Barca.

If it is true what Fernandez did, then his defense when celebrating will be in vain. The former Benfica player himself expressed that he wanted to leave Chelsea.

The problem is, Barca can't buy Fernandez. The financial crisis that still surrounds the club makes it difficult for them to buy players.

Even new players who come to Barca are mostly free of charge, including Ilkay Gundogan who left Manchester City before moving to Barca on a free transfer.

Barca's best offer is of course to borrow Fernandez from Chelsea. If possible, Barca will only borrow it at the start of next season.
