Rumor had it that a star player for Chelsea and his representative were considering leaving Stamford Bridge. On the other hand, there has been some fresh information on this scenario.
Transfer dealings at Chelsea in 2024.
Chelsea shockingly did not recruit any new players during the January transfer window, with Todd Boehly managing Mauricio Pochettino’s team without doing so. This is in contrast to a busy summer transfer season that saw a number of high-profile and expensive additions.
The focus moved to player exits in the beginning of 2024, when a number of young players and peripheral players were loaned away.
Despite making it to the EFL Cup final, Pochettino and his players have had difficulties on the field this year. Chelsea has dropped to the bottom half of the Premier League standings after conceding four goals apiece in losses to Wolves and Liverpool. There have been whispers regarding the manager’s future after these results.
“I received a very supportive text from the owners after the game against Wolves,” Pochettino said, acknowledging that he had received a vote of confidence from both Boehly and the club’s ownership following the most recent league setback. We’re all in this together. Unquestionably arduous work, but also a fascinating undertaking that, as we all know, has its share of challenges. These are the kinds of times when we can develop and learn. During our discussion today, I told the players that I was more confident in them than ever. We are ready to face this circumstance and are completely confident in our team’s ability to recover and win.”

It has been claimed that Enzo Fernandez is thinking about leaving Chelsea. His representatives, which include veteran agent Uriel Perez, have started conversations with a number of teams in order to evaluate possible options.
It is unclear if the athlete is promoting a move on his own or if his agents are in charge of it. Though Fernandez earns £180,000 a week and his Chelsea contract expires in 2032, Chelsea has the last say over any possible departure.
The player’s agent, cited by Fabrizio Romano in a recent update, has denied the allegations, saying they are untrue.
🚨🔵 Enzo Fernández’s agent: “Rumours about Enzo planning to leave Chelsea are NOT true”.
“Enzo has no intention of leaving. The leaders were very clear with this project”.
“When the pieces of team fit together well, Chelsea will move forward”, he told @edu17burgos on AS. pic.twitter.com/f99PLdySGZ

Just over a year ago, Fernandez made his debut as Chelsea’s star player after signing a British record deal to leave Benfica. In a statement, Chelsea’s co-controlling owners, Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, expressed their joy at signing the Argentine, underscoring Fernandez’s distinction as a World Cup champion and one of the best players in world football. They expected him to make a big impact on Chelsea’s team under Graham Potter and in the future.
But even with such high hopes, Fernandez and Chelsea have had difficulties on the field. Fernandez has played in more than 50 games for the Blues, but he hasn’t had much of an effect in the Premier League like some other high-profile additions. Still, he has been a consistent member of Pochettino’s squad.
In light of Fernandez’s great performance—particularly his incredible free-kick against Aston Villa on Wednesday—the latest statement from his agency refuting the rumors of his leaving is comforting.
