Chelsea fans may not like what Enzo Fernandez posted after last night’s Argentina game – Opinio

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is full of praise for his Argentine teammate Cristian Romero.

On Instagram, he described the Tottenham man as the best centre-back in world football, an opinion which might not go down well with certain sections of the Chelsea fanbase.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is full of praise for his Argentine teammate Cristian Romero.

On Instagram, he described the Tottenham man as the best centre-back in world football, an opinion which might not go down well with certain sections of the Chelsea fanbase.

He will have faced a familiar face in midfield, for example recent Chelsea record-breaker Moises Caicedo.

Fans will be grateful that the two didn’t get engaged in physical moments.
Instead, the 21-year-old saved his heavy tackle for Lionel Messi.

While the defending champion won thanks to a magical moment from the best player in the world, Romero produced a determined performance in defense to help his team keep a clean sheet.

The Tottenham man has made a flying start to this season and Fernandez has apparently been incredibly impressed with what he has done for his country.

He responded on his Instagram post: “The best central [defender] in the world.”

Chelsea fans will surely find it difficult to praise a rival, as Fernandez did, regardless of whether they represent the same national team or not.

Thiago Silva has established himself as one of the best in the world in this position, and this form has continued into his time at Stamford Bridge.

They also have talented youngster Levi Colwill coming into the ranks, who many Chelsea fans wouldn’t swap for Romero if given the chance.

Chelsea open preliminary negotiations over a new contract worth £58 million

Chelsea are in talks with Riyadh Air over a possible partnership starting in the 2024/25 season, sources have told Football Insider.

The Blues are still looking for a shirt sponsor this season after their £40m-a-year contract with Three expired.

They held talks with Allianz, Paramount Plus and Stake this summer before reaching a deal with US-based Infinite Athlete last month.

However, both parties are awaiting Premier League approval before the deal can be announced.

The Premier League is currently assessing whether or not the £50m-per-season deal could be considered “fair value” given Chelsea will not compete in Europe this season.

The Infinite Athlete deal is expected to be a short-term solution for Chelsea and the Blues have already started exploring potential partners for a multi-year deal from next year.

Chelsea bosses have reportedly hosted members of the board of new Saudi airline Riyadh Air to offer a possible deal on the front of the shirt from 2024.

Riyadh Air has already entered the world of sports sponsorship after sponsoring the shirt front of Atlético Madrid this summer.

They are owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which also owns a majority stake in Newcastle United.

The Magpies were recommended to work with Riyadh Air for their own shirt sponsor this summer, before signing a £25m-a-year deal with Sela.
Chelsea are hoping to receive between £55m and £58m from their sponsor on their shirt front from 2024/25, although reaching that figure is likely to depend on the club qualifying for Europe this season
