Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is considering a departure from the club, FootballTransfers has been told.
The player's agents, including his long-time representative Uriel Perez, have begun talks with various clubs to explore potential opportunities for the talented midfielder.
Fernandez, who initially arrived at Chelsea for a then Premier League-record €121 million with the assistance of superagent Jorge Mendes, has failed to live up to his price tag at Stamford Bridge so far.

The dynamics surrounding the potential move remain unclear at this point, whether it's the player driving a transfer away or his representatives, but a sticking point will no doubt be the World Cup winner's contract that runs until 2032, with the club having activated a one-year clause in the deal.
The youngster was described as a 'complete midfielder' when he signed but so far performances have shown that he is quite limited.
"In Enzo we are signing a World Cup-winner and one of the brightest talents in global football," a statement from Todd Boehly, Chelsea chairman, and Behdad Eghbali, co-controlling owner, read upon reaching an agreement with Benfica.
"We are excited to add him to Graham's [Potter] squad and we are sure he will form an important part of our team going forward. Enzo has demonstrated his ability at the very highest levels so we're looking forward to seeing what he will do in Chelsea blue."
