Chelsea was undoubtedly one of the major disappointments this season. Not only were they eliminated from the Champions League in the quarterfinals by Real Madrid, but they also lacked consistency in the Premier League, finishing twelfth in the table and missing out on European competition.

One of the managers who experienced this disastrous campaign at Chelsea was Graham Potter. It was during his tenure that a player was expected to help the team regain its footing and achieve positive results, but that didn't happen.

In the winter transfer market, Todd Boehly decided to do whatever it took to put Chelsea back among the top teams in the table and make them contenders in all competitions. That's why he made the signing of Enzo Fernández for 121 million EUR.

Enzo Fernández joined Chelsea from Benfica after representing Argentina and becoming a starter in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where he ultimately became a World Champion. His performances caught the attention of many clubs.

 

Unwanted acquisition

At the time of Enzo Fernández's arrival, Potter stated that he had not been involved in Chelsea's negotiations for the Argentine player. It has now been revealed that Graham Potter warned Chelsea's board about the high price of the player and told them, "Don't sign Enzo Fernández for 121 million EUR.".
