Chelsea's 5pm deadline on Friday to meet Enzo Fernandez's £120m asking price is intended to bring an end to uncertainty over the midfielder's future.
There is a keenness at Stamford Bridge to move on from the saga, with the deadline marking around 60 days in which clubs have been able to sign Fernandez for what Chelsea consider a fair price.
Xabi Alonso is still open to reintegrating Fernandez having spoken to him during the World Cup, with senior staff in Chelsea ready to move on and forward.
Fernandez is back training at Cobham. Man City are the only known club as a potential suitor.
Chelsea played just yesterday and today the club will be playing against Johor Darul again? A lot of young players will get opportunities today, and I see Mudryk fully starting in today’s match.
I guess after this match, the next game will be against Fulham. I can’t wait.
