Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly contacted Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez regarding a summer transfer just hours before the two sides meet in a high-stakes Champions League Round of 16 first leg.
Paris Saint-Germain have intensified their pursuit of Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, reportedly establishing contact with the Argentine’s representatives ahead of tonight’s European showdown.
Despite Fernandez being tied to a long-term contract at Stamford Bridge until 2032, the French champions view the 25-year-old as a transformative addition to their midfield.
The midfielder has previously praised the Parisian giants, stating last summer, “Today I believe so (they are the best team on the planet).”
The transfer speculation adds a dramatic layer to Liam Rosenior’s biggest managerial test since taking the Chelsea helm in January.
Rosenior’s side enters the Parc des Princes seeking to replicate their 3-0 Club World Cup final victory over PSG from last July.
While the French hierarchy eyes a potential £107 million-plus summer move, Luis Enrique’s squad remains focused on defending their European crown against a resurgent Chelsea team.
