Fernandez captained the Blues as they lost 3-0 to Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, making it four defeats in a row.
Instead of producing a response after the PSG defeat, Chelsea somehow conspired to arguably put in a worse performance.
Fabrizio Romano on Enzo Fernandez future
Speaking ahead of the game Liam Rosenior insisted Chelsea’s top players won’t be looking to leave the club in the summer.
However, with the Blues currently on course to miss out on Champions League football that could certainly have an impact.
Fernandez appeared to plunge his future into doubt after the PSG game, and Romano had provided an update on his future.
“The message I’m receiving on this Enzo Fernandez story is that Enzo Fernandez and Chelsea had some conversations about the contract to discuss potential new terms for Enzo Fernandez,” he told his YouTube channel.
“At the moment, they could not reach an agreement on a new contract.
“If the situation remains like this, with no agreement from now until the summer transfer window, Fernandez could eventually consider proposals in the summer.”
La Liga a possible destination
Whether the Argentine stays or goes remains to be seen, but it’s been reported La Liga is a potential destination with Real Madrid understood to be keen.
Chelsea reportedly won’t let the 25-year-old go for a book loss, and with the midfielder under contract until 2032, it makes any potential exit difficult.
However, it’s becoming clear Fernandez and perhaps others are growing increasingly disillusioned with the project and the direction it’s going in.
