Enzo Fernandes says he knows nothing about Chelsea’s future

Chelsea Midfielder Enzo Fernandes said he does not know if he will stay at the club next season after the Blues were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain.

Chelsea lost 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday after suffering a 5-2 defeat in the first leg last week.

Fernandes joined Chelsea for a British record transfer fee of €121m (£107m) in January 2023 and played more than 150 games for the club.

But when asked by ESPN if he would stay with the club next season, the 25-year-old said: “I don’t know, there are eight games left and the FA Cup. There’s the World Cup and then we’ll see.”

Fernandes, who has made 45 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea this season, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists, was replaced after 60 minutes at Stamford Bridge.

Fernandes, who led the team in the absence of Reece James, added: “I think we failed to control the match. In the first leg, we lost focus in the last 15 minutes and conceded three goals, and this is what happened at the beginning.”

“At this level, you can’t concede two goals so quickly because of small details. In the end, in the two legs, PSG were the better team and deserved to qualify.

“Since I arrived at Chelsea, we have already been through similar situations and managed to turn them around.

He added: “Now, our focus must be on winning the FA Cup and achieving our goal of qualifying for the Champions League next season.”
