Enzo Fernandez remains keen to leave Chelsea this summer, the player’s agent has confirmed.
The Argentine, who is currently at the World Cup, has made no secret of his desire to leave the club, with Real Madrid said to be his dream destination.
In April, minutes after Chelsea’s Champions League exit, Fernandez opened the door to departure. This desire was then reiterated during the following days and weeks.
Fernandez was subsequently dropped by Chelsea for two games, saw was Javier Pastore, Fernandez's agent, hit out at Chelsea over the ban, which was described as "completely unfair" in a bombshell interview with The Athletic.
Tensions appeared to subside, but now Pastore had made clear that his client is still looking for pastures new.
"At the moment, the player is calmly focusing on the national team," Pastore told reporters. "He’s playing in a World Cup and is very close to reaching the round of 16.
"He’s thinking only about that, whilst we’re looking at options for him to leave Chelsea, but there’s nothing definite or confirmed with any club."
Asked again about Madrid, Pastore said of Fernandez: "He has lots of friends there [at Real Madrid], and he’s very close to Julian Alvarez.
“In fact, whenever they can, they spend time together there.
"And I’m living in Madrid too. Every time he’s travelled there, it’s been to see me and to sort out work matters, but apart from that: who doesn’t like Madrid?
"I never played in Madrid… yet I even live there."
