Enzo Fernandez\u2019s agent insists the midfielder remains fully \u2018focused\u2019 on finishing the season strongly at Chelsea amid rumours of a possible summer transfer move to Real Madrid. <\/p>\n

Chelsea struck a club-record \u00a3106.8million deal with Benfica to bring Fernandez to Stamford Bridge back in 2023, a move that made the 25-year-old the fifth most expensive footballer in history.<\/p>\n

In that time, Fernandez has racked up 29 goals and 29 assists in 164 appearances for the Blues, while helping the west London giants lift the Europa Conference League trophy and the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

There has been mounting speculation surrounding Fernandez\u2019s future beyond the summer, though, with the Argentina international repeatedly flirting with the idea of a potential switch to the Bernabeu.<\/p>\n

Last month, when Liam Rosenior was still in charge, Fernandez also voiced his frustrations over Chelsea\u2019s decision to dismiss Enzo Maresca, claiming the the Italian\u2019s sacking \u2018hurt us a lot\u2019.<\/p>\n

Fernandez was subsequently slapped with a two-match internal ban for his remarks, meaning he missed Chelsea\u2019s victory over Port Vale and the side\u2019s defeat to Manchester City.<\/p>\n

But the 2022 World Cup winner redeemed himself somewhat with the decisive goal last weekend as Chelsea \u2013 led by interim boss Calum McFarlane \u2013 edged past Leeds to advance to this year\u2019s FA Cup final.<\/p>\n

\u2018The most impressive thing about him was when the tactics went out the window and Leeds were on top, he\u2019s just a fighter and a warrior,\u2019 McFarlane said of Fernandez in his post-match interview with TNT Sports.<\/p>\n

\u2018We don\u2019t have to have the perfect game-plan in those moments because he\u2019ll run, compete, tackle and drive players on.<\/p>\n

\u2018So that\u2019s what I thought was probably the deciding factor in the game.\u2019<\/p>\n

Four days on from Chelsea\u2019s semi-final win at Wembley, Spanish publication AS have published an interview with Fernandez\u2019s agent, Javier Pastore, the former PSG and Argentina star.<\/p>\n

Pictures of Fernandez enjoying the tennis on show at the Madrid Open \u2013 along with Marc Cucurella and Joao Pedro \u2013 have been circulating across social media, images which drawn yet more criticism from some sections of the fanbase.<\/p>\n

But Pastore insists Fernandez is simply a big fan of the city and there is little truth to the incessant rumours linking his client with Real Madrid \u2013 at this stage.<\/p>\n

\u2018A lot is being said, but\u00a0the truth is that nothing is really happening. He\u2019s focused on finishing the season strongly at Chelsea,\u2019 Pastore explained.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s true he made some comments that perhaps weren\u2019t ideal at the time, but he didn\u2019t say anything unusual.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018He simply spoke about Madrid, which he really likes.\u2019<\/p>\n

On the notion that Fernandez\u2019s visits to Madrid could be perceived as a come-and-get-me plea to Bernabeu bosses, Pastore replied: \u2018Whenever he has a day off, he comes to Madrid\u00a0because I\u2019m there and because he has friends in the city.<\/p>\n

\u2018That\u2019s all it is, nothing more.<\/p>\n

\u2018The aim is to finish the season well at Chelsea, have a strong World Cup, and then we\u2019ll see what happens.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\"Argentina\t<\/div>

Asked where Fernandez could potentially slot in at Madrid, Pastore responded: \u2018He\u2019s played in several positions.\u00a0Over the past two years, his role has changed quite a lot.<\/p>\n

\u2018Under Enzo Maresca, he played much further forward. With Liam Rosenior, he operated more as a holding midfielder. <\/p>\n

\u2018For the Argentine national team, he\u2019s also been used as a more advanced number eight, getting forward and contributing goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018He\u2019s had two seasons with plenty of assists and goals, so it\u2019s natural that coaches see him as more attacking than defensive.\u00a0That said, he\u2019s a player who can comfortably perform in both roles.\u2019<\/p>\n

Reports earlier this week suggested Chelsea were ready to listen to offers for Fernandez, but the Club World Cup holders will be demanding a \u2018high price\u2019 for the ex-Benfica and River Plate man.<\/p>\n

Manchester City have also been credited with a strong interest in Fernandez in recent days, with the club scouring the market for midfielders to fill the void left by Bernardo Silva\u2019s impending departure.<\/p>\n

Fernandez\u2019s current contract at Stamford Bridge is not due to expire until June 2032. <\/p>\n
