The ex-Napoli star is a profile the Londoners don\u2019t have but would value very much, more so should they lose Enzo Fernandez\u2019s physicality and midfield coverage.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s asking price will be a huge driver of the <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/tag\/transfer-rumours\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Transfer rumours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transfer<\/a> as Chelsea, though keen on bringing in experienced faces to their dressing room, would not want to pay unreasonably for a player who has turned 30.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--mvp-post-tags--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--posts-nav-link--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mvp-org-wrap\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div class=\"mvp-org-logo\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-logo--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Football Talk | Premier League News\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-wrap-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/234500\/chelsea-looking-to-sign-fabian-ruiz-from-paris-saint-germain-to-replace-enzo-fernandez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez\u2019s future remains uncertain amidst interest from Real Madrid, with the Argentine international believed to be keen on a move to the Spanish capital.
