Putting an end to the speculation surrounding his future, Fernandez expressed his commitment to the club. He stated, “I think I made it very clear that the rumors weren’t real. I don’t know where they came from. They had talked on social media, I think, something like that. It’s a total lie, I don’t want to leave Chelsea, I’m happy here.”
The midfielder went on to praise his teammates, the coaching staff, and everyone involved with the club. He emphasized his gratitude for the warm welcome he received upon his arrival at Stamford Bridge. Fernandez stated, “From the first day I arrived, they treated me wonderfully, and I am very grateful. Regardless of what happens in football, I am grateful to be able to play here.”
Fernandez concluded his statement by assuring fans that he intends to remain at Chelsea for as long as they want him. He said, “I am happy here at Chelsea and I will continue as long as they want me here. Okay?”
Chelsea’s victory over Crystal Palace was crucial in maintaining their hopes of qualifying for European competitions. The Blues currently sit seven points behind sixth-placed Manchester United.
