What Enzo Fernandez Tells Chelsea Fans After Record Move To Man City

Enzo Fernandez has sent an emotional farewell message to Chelsea fans after completing his £125 million transfer to Manchester City on transfer deadline day.

The 25-year-old Argentina international ended one of the summer’s longest transfer sagas after Manchester City agreed a joint-British record deal with Chelsea.

The fee is also the highest amount the West London club has ever received for a player.

Enzo Fernandez had been seeking a move away from Stamford Bridge before the transfer window opened, with Chelsea eventually agreeing to his departure just hours before the deadline.

After completing his move to City, the midfielder took to Instagram to thank Chelsea supporters for their backing during his three years at the club.

Fernandez admitted that leaving Chelsea had not been easy and revealed that Cobham and Stamford Bridge had become home for him and his family.

“Dear Chelsea,” Fernandez wrote.

“I want you to know that these have not been easy days for me. Writing this is not easy either. The truth is, I haven’t been in a good place.

“Three years ago, Cobham and Stamford Bridge became home for me and my family. I grew attached to the people, to the shirt, and to the badge of this incredible club.

“Believe me when I say that, from the moment I arrived, I became obsessed with winning and with bringing this club every trophy that its history deserves. We suffered, we cried, I got angry many times, but we also celebrated titles and unforgettable victories. Together, through the good times and the difficult ones.

“I live football the same way I live my life: with passion and with all my heart. That is why I want you to know that I understand you. I truly understand you, from the bottom of my heart.

“But life is about making decisions, and right now I find myself having to make one of those difficult decisions. I’ve said it before, but I want to say it again: I have grown incredibly fond of this club. Chelsea will always have a place in my thoughts and, above all, in my heart.

“But I also understand how football works. I know how passionate you are, because I am the same. And if I were in your position, I would probably be thinking the same way.

“I want to thank every single one of you: the staff, the coaching team, the medical team, the physios, and everyone who works at Cobham and throughout this great institution.

“To all my teammates over these years, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing so many moments with me. I was truly happy here, and I wish you nothing but the very best for the future.

“Thank you for all the love and support you have given me and my family throughout these years. I will never forget it.

“This group will give you many more reasons to be happy, and I will be happy for you too. Never doubt that.

“You will always be in my heart, Blues. I will always wish you, always, nothing but the very best.

“Always, Blue.

“Thank you, Chelsea.

“Enzo.”
