A Chelsea in Transition Raises Questions

The future of Enzo Fernández at Chelsea is starting to raise serious questions. According to reports from France, the Argentine midfielder is considering his options following the departure of Enzo Maresca, who was dismissed on January 1 despite winning the Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025.

Chelsea’s decision to appoint Liam Rosenior as the new head coach has created uncertainty both inside and outside Stamford Bridge. Rosenior’s lack of Premier League experience, combined with an unclear sporting direction, has led several players to question the club’s trajectory — with Enzo among the most notable names.

A Leader Who Had Found Stability

Signed in 2023 for a British record fee of £107 million, Enzo Fernández initially struggled to settle but eventually grew into an on-field leader, frequently wearing the captain’s armband.

This season, the Argentine has added goals to his game, scoring eight times and edging closer to reaching double figures for the first time since his days at River Plate. His strong relationship with Maresca was a key pillar of his stability at Chelsea, something made clear in his farewell message to the Italian coach.

“I’m sad to see you go. I learned so much from you and we won two titles I will never forget,” Fernández wrote on social media, highlighting the emotional impact of the managerial change.

An Open Future

For now, no formal offer has been made, but the mere fact that Enzo Fernández is reassessing his future already represents a warning sign for Chelsea. The stability he had found has been shaken by structural decisions, and the coming months will be decisive in determining whether he continues to lead the Blues’ project… or begins a new chapter elsewhere in Europe.
