Julian Alvarez, a striker for Atletico Madrid, has reportedly begged his team to sign Enzo Fernandez, a midfielder for Chelsea who is on the move.

The two are Argentina’s national team colleagues, and it appears that Alvarez is eager to play club football with his countryman.
Alvarez has requested Atletico to sign Fernandez from Chelsea, and the La Liga powerhouses are reportedly interested in the move.
It will be intriguing to see whether this trade works out because Fernandez himself appears to be keen to leaving Stamford Bridge.
One problem might be Chelsea’s €80 million asking price.
There will probably be disagreements among Chelsea supporters over this news, with many believing that Fernandez should be kept even if he hasn’t yet shown his finest form for the team.
The 24-year-old appeared far more spectacular at his last club, Benfica, but he has improved significantly since joining the Premier League, reports Caught Offside.
While it could be a dangerous move, Chelsea would be wise to cash in on Fernandez while his stock is still relatively high.
It would be detrimental to CFC if Fernandez spent those years at another top European club, but there is always a chance that he still has his best years ahead of him.
