EPL: We are happy with Fernandez – Alonso

Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso has stated that the club is content with Enzo Fernandez, despite ongoing speculation regarding the midfielder's future. The 25-year-old Argentine has been linked with a move away from Chelsea, with Manchester City reportedly interested in signing him. However, Alonso has revealed that Chelsea has informed Fernandez's representatives that he is not for sale this summer, following the passing of the August 14th deadline for a formal bid.

Alonso emphasized Fernandez's importance to the team during Chelsea's upcoming Premier League match against Fulham. He praised the midfielder's attitude since returning to the squad and confirmed that Fernandez is integrating well with the team after the World Cup. Manchester City remains interested in Fernandez, as they aim to bolster their midfield, but Chelsea remains firm in their decision to retain him at Stamford Bridge.

With the transfer window closing on September 1st, Fernandez's future remains uncertain for now, but Alonso's comments suggest that Chelsea is prepared for the midfielder to continue his tenure with the club.
