The Chelsea midfielder is once again being linked with Real Madrid.
Details: According to El Chiringuito TV, just weeks after his controversial comments expressing affection for Madrid, the player made a trip to the city, instantly fueling speculation about his possible future with Los Blancos.
Let’s recall that earlier the Argentinian openly admitted:
“I would love to live in Madrid. It’s a beautiful city, it reminds me of Buenos Aires.” he said.
These words caused serious discontent among Chelsea’s management, who even suspended the player for two matches for “flirting” with the idea of a potential transfer.
However, this new trip appeared even more ambiguous in timing: it came less than 24 hours after Fernández scored the winning goal against Leeds United, sending his team to the FA Cup final.
Despite the speculation, Chelsea were quick to dispel any rumors of conflict: interim head coach Callum MacFarlane gave the squad a well-earned day off after the crucial win, and Fernández headed to Madrid in the company of teammates Marc Cucurella and João Pedro. Paparazzi snapped the group on the streets of the Spanish capital, where they attended the Mutua Madrid Open tennis tournament.
Reminder: Real Madrid defender Éder Militão has undergone surgery. The recovery timeline has been revealed.
