Former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has disclosed that Enzo Fernández appears to have lost his commitment to the club.
Petit cited the midfielder’s ongoing links to Real Madrid, unhappiness with the team’s project, and controversial public communications as reasons why fans believe his mind is elsewhere.

Chelsea has been firm on their valuation, expecting a fee in the region of £120 million if he attempts to force a move.
However, Petit stated that Chelsea can’t keep a disgruntled player happy, especially given Enzo’s previous disciplinary issues (including an internal suspension) and public comments hinting at a desire to move to Spain.
“I would be shocked if Enzo Fernandez stays because obviously he doesn’t want to stay in England. You can see how he behaved during the World Cup,” Petit told Mr Gamble.
“So I think he knows it, and this is why he did it, because he wants to go even further with this idea of breaking the relationship with Chelsea.
“I think he tried everything he could in the last few months to send strong messages to the Chelsea board saying, ‘Listen, you see that I don’t want to stay.’

“So I think for the best interest of both parties, they should just separate ways. Simple as that. It’s time to get rid of him.
“I think Fernandez doesn’t care about Chelsea. (Marc) Cucurella did care a lot.”
Chelsea were forced to delete a post celebrating Fernandez’s equaliser against England after fierce backlash and the club may feel that letting Fernandez go is the best option for both parties going forward.
