Weâve reached the final run of games of the season, and Chelsea still have a lot to play for. Theyâre in the FA Cup final, and they can decide their final Premier League place with some good results to close out the season.
Lots of people are already looking ahead to the summer, however, and that includes the Daily Mail, who did a classic round of âkeep, loan or sellâ this morning.
Enzo could get undeserved wage rise just for practical reasons
First up was Enzo Fernandez, perhaps the most interesting case of all given his comments about leaving a month ago, and the vast price north of ÂŁ100m we paid for him.
Kieran Gill suggests that Chelsea should keep the midfielder, because they are a âbetter team with him than without him.â
That is dependent on them striking a new contract deal which âsatisfies both Fernandez and Chelsea.â Thatâs a risky move. When youâve got a player who has actively tried to move away and effectively gave up on his last manager, rewarding him with a raise is perhaps not the wisest idea.
However, knowing that no team is going to pay close to what weâd want for him, it may be best to just pay him off to try and get him onside again.
