It's not just Enzo: Teammate also flirts with Real Madrid, irking Chelsea

Beyond Enzo Fernández, is another transfer saga brewing at Chelsea? The situation at Stamford Bridge has become complicated after Moisés Caicedo became the second player at the club to leave the door open for a future move to Real Madrid. The Ecuadorian's comments come shortly after the former Benfica midfielder, Enzo Fernández, was sanctioned for similar remarks.

In an interview with Spanish newspaper AS, the former Brighton player, who cost the London club €116 million in 2023, did not rule out a switch to the Merengues, although he emphasized that, for now, he is focused on the English club.

«In football, you never know... I have a contract with Chelsea now. The truth is, honestly, I haven't thought about another club, about leaving London, but you never know in football,» he stated, adding: «All I want is to enjoy football. I have a contract and I want to keep playing as long as God allows. After that, we'll see what happens. I have a contract, but we'll see what the future holds. Let's see what surprises await us.»

These controversial statements emerge at a delicate time for Liam Rosenior, who recently suspended Enzo Fernández for two matches after the Argentine claimed he would «love» to live in Madrid, prompting disciplinary action from the club.

The English coach confirmed the sanction on Friday, explaining that while he has «nothing bad to say about him as a person,» a line was crossed regarding the culture the club aims to build. «We had to apply a sanction, and it was a decision we made,» the coach said. As a result, the player will miss the FA Cup match against Port Vale and the Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Adding to these two cases are the controversial words of Marc Cucurella, who recently stated he «wouldn't have sacked Maresca» and criticized Chelsea's transfer policy.
