Casemiro’s departure has created a need for a replacement at Manchester United. According to Sky Sports, Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso wants Enzo Fernandez to remain at Stamford Bridge. The midfielder’s long contract gives Chelsea complete control over negotiations. Chelsea would demand a huge fee and be reluctant to strengthen a direct domestic rival. Interest from Real Madrid and Manchester City could create complications by creating competition or encouraging Chelsea to sell abroad instead.

According to Metro, former England striker Emile Heskey has suggested that Manchester United should sign Enzo Fernández from Chelsea. Heskey stated the 25-year-old Argentine midfielder would improve the team, and Chelsea have valued the player at £120 million. Manchester City are also reportedly interested in signing Fernández, whose preferred destination is Real Madrid.
