Enzo Fernandez

Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez has publicly called on Lionel Scaloni to remain as national team head coach as the side begins planning for the future beyond Lionel Messi. Fernandez's appeal underscores concerns within the squad about stability at the helm during a transitional period for the world champions, with Scaloni's own future the subject of ongoing speculation.

Chelsea have reportedly been informed of a Premier League club's position on a potential transfer, as the Blues weigh up options in case Enzo Fernandez leaves the club. The report suggests Chelsea are already scouting possible replacements for the Argentine midfielder within England's top flight. No player names or fee details were given, and neither club has commented publicly on the reports.
