This is the headline for an article published in today, April 16,’s Mirror newspaper (UK). Despite investing over a billiоn pounds to bolster his squad, Chelsea’s owner Todd Boehly had to endure a dismal season. The superstars of Chelsea are not worth their enormous transfer fee based on their performance. Mauricio Pochettino, the Chelsea coach, is currently facing pressure.

Chelsea has reportedly exercised contract extension options with Enzo Fernandez and Mykhaylo Mudryk, valued at a combined £195 million, according to Mirror. During the January 2023 transfer window, Benfica traded 106.8 million pounds to bring Argentine World Cup champion Enzo Fernandez to the Stamford Bridge team. The first contract that Enzo was given was for eight and a half years.

Like Mudryk, who committed to a seven-year deal with the Blues. The Ukrainian winger, then a star for Shakhtar Donetsk, cost £88.5 million when the Blues defeated Arsenal to sign him. Nevertheless, Chelsea’s season has been awful because neither Fernandez nor Mudryk lived up to expectations.

In all competitions, Mudryk has only managed to score six goals and provide two assists for Chelsea. Enzo Fernandez, meantime, has played a part in a midfield that has frequently battled this season.

Recently, the English Football Association (FA) released a report detailing the yearly commission payments made to player representatives. According to the report, the contracts of Mykhaylo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez have been extended. According to FA records, Chelsea paid the agents of the two as part of the contract update negotiations.

As a result, for the 12-month period ending in February 2024, the Blues paid “suρer agents” a record fee of 75.1 million pounds. Mudryk and Fernandez were mentioned in the past by Mauricio Pochettino, an Argentine strategist, as being a part of his long-term ambitions at Chelsea.

Regarding Mykhaylo Mudryk, Chelsea’s coach Mauricio Pochettino stated: “He is a great guy, a good person, and very honest.” One thing is certain, Mykhaylo Mudryk is a very trustworthy and honest person. Naturally, I think well of him as a person.

Mykhaylo Mudryk is aware of the necessity to keep getting better as a player. Mykhaylo Mudryk is still young, and his talent will help him develop. Mudryk is a player that has excelled in his personal growth.

We are overjoyed. Mykhaylo Mudryk will undoubtedly develop into a key member of Chelsea’s squad in the future. Even though Mudryk has a lot of potential, he will yet develop into an even more significant player.

The Argentine strategist for Chelsea also gave teammate player Enzo Fernandez props after he scored in a February match against Aston Villa. As a protest to the criticism directed at him, Fernandez lifted his shirt to celebrate the goal. Additionally, Pochettino is a huge fan of the Argentine player.

“Today, Enzo Fernandez showed why he is at Chelsea and he showed his quality,” Mauricio Pochettino stated. We don’t dispute the ability of Moises Caicedo or Enzo Fernandez; like other players, young players came to Chelsea expecting to win titles and score goals with every touch of the ball.

Playing for the world championship is Enzo Fernandez. Enzo Fernandez arrived at Chelsea a year ago, having spent almost two years playing football under duress without a break. He is still young and comes from a different background, language, and culture. I have a lot of faith in this player.”
