Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernández has addressed growing speculation over his future at Chelsea Football Club following Argentina’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Egypt in the Round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Fernández, who scored the decisive stoppage-time winner to send Argentina into the quarter-finals, was asked about reports linking him with a move away from Stamford Bridge once the tournament concludes. The 25-year-old refused to be drawn into transfer speculation, making it clear that his full attention remains on Argentina’s World Cup campaign.
He said,
“Right now I’m only thinking about the national team and the World Cup. When the tournament is over, we’ll see what happens. I don’t want to talk about my future at Chelsea now.”
When questioned further, the midfielder reiterated that club matters can wait until after the tournament.
“My focus is completely on Argentina. There will be time to discuss my club future after the World Cup.”win
Fernández’s comments neither confirm nor deny reports surrounding his future, but they suggest that any decision regarding Chelsea will only be made once Argentina’s World Cup journey comes to an end.
The Argentine has been heavily linked with a possible exit in recent weeks, but for now, his priority is helping the reigning world champions defend their crown. With Argentina now through to the quarter-finals, Fernández will be aiming to maintain his impressive form before turning his attention back to his club career later this summer.
