Under Todd Boehly, the Blues have continuously spent large sums of money on player acquisitions, and apart from Moises Caicedo, no player has cost the west Londoners more than Enzo Fernandez since the American-led consortium took over the club.
The 22-year-old completed his move to the English capital in January for a then British-record transfer fee of €121 million (R2.4 billion) from Benfica following a sterling performance for Argentina at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
While his arrival was expected to be the catalyst for a Chelsea renaissance in 2023, the two-time European champions ended up suffering their worst Premier League finish in 29 years at the end of the 2022/23 campaign, ending in 12th place.
The new season has also brought about a mediocre start for the English giants, who have won only one of their opening four league encounters, and according to Fichajes, Fernandez is becoming agitated with the lack of quality and progress from the team since his arrival.
The Spanish publication claims that the 13-cap Albiceleste star could push for a move at the end of the season if things do not improve under his new coach and compatriot Mauricio Pochettino.
