The head coach of London's Chelsea club, Enzo Maresca, commented on his contract situation with the team, the lack of a replacement for Enzo Fernandez, and the "aristocrats'" transfer strategy:

"Was I offered a new contract? That is a question for them if I am worth a new contract."

"At the moment, I don't think we have a natural replacement for E. Fernandez.

Andrey Santos has already adapted to this team – but his position is more of an eighth number, which is Moises Caicedo's position, not the Argentine's."

"No, no, absolutely not – I don't want to be more involved in the transfer strategy. No, no, and no. I am satisfied with the squad.

The reason I joined Chelsea, as I have said many times, is that I believe this squad is very good."

Enzo Fernandez has been playing for the "aristocrats" since the beginning of 2023 and has scored 21 goals in 138 matches.

London's Chelsea club is in fourth place in the English Championship with 28 points.
