Argentina and Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez candidly discussed the reasons behind his decision to halt any talks regarding a possible transfer to Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old midfielder revealed that a personal conversation with senior national team partner Lionel Messi played a crucial role in altering his decision during the height of the transfer speculation:
When the Real rumours were everywhere, Messi called me and asked, 'Is it true?'. I replied 'yes', and he laughed.
Leo said, 'Chelsea is a special club. If I ever had that opportunity, I would love to play there. Don’t make hasty decisions you might regret later.'
This conversation made me look at things differently. Some clubs are more than just trophies. They become a real family for you.
The recognition from the captain of the Argentine national team helped Enzo Fernandez rethink his position at the London club and fully focus on continuing his career at Chelsea.
