L’Équipe reports Luis Enrique’s side is eyeing the Argentine midfielder, but a January move remains unlikely as PSG shifts focus to youth development.
The future of Enzo Fernández at Stamford Bridge is becoming increasingly uncertain. According to a report by the French outlet L’Équipe, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has placed the 24-year-old Argentine World Cup winner on their shortlist as they look to inject much-needed “hunger” and competition into their midfield.
The Chelsea Dilemma Enzo’s situation in London has grown delicate following the dismissal of Enzo Maresca. The midfielder reportedly shared a strong professional bond with the former coach, and his departure has led the Argentine to question his long-term prospects at Chelsea. Despite his undeniable talent, the lack of stability at the club has opened a window of opportunity for Europe’s elite to circle.
Internal Criticism at PSG In Paris, the interest in Fernández stems from a growing concern over the squad’s current mentality. Sources close to the club suggest that a sense of “complacency” has settled into the first team due to a lack of genuine competition for starting roles. PSG’s board believes a profile like Enzo’s—ambitious and tactically elite—could be the catalyst to restore a fighting spirit in Luis Enrique’s side.

A Calculated Wait: No January Move Despite the admiration for the Chelsea man, PSG is expected to remain quiet during the January 2026 transfer window. The Parisian strategy has shifted:
- Internal Promotion: The club is prioritizing the development of academy talents over short-term “panic buys.”
- Summer Planning: PSG is carefully monitoring Enzo’s situation at Chelsea, preferring to launch a calculated offensive during the summer window rather than destabilizing their current structure mid-season.
The Outlook As Chelsea enters a new era and PSG battles inconsistency in Ligue 1, the summer of 2026 is shaping up to be the real battleground for Enzo Fernández’s signature. For now, the player remains a key, albeit frustrated, figure in London, while the Parisians keep their chequebook closed—at least for the next few weeks.
