Chelsea has fallen into mid-table obscurity and struggles to retain star players; Romano reports Manchester City is gathering information on Enzo.

Chelsea has endured a five-game losing streak in the Premier League with zero goals, a severe downturn. In nearly seven matches across various competitions, except for scoring against a lower-league side in the FA Cup, the Blues have failed to find the net. This issue goes beyond just poor team performance; Chelsea has turned into a profit-driven enterprise for its executives. A Premier League Big6 club with such little drive cannot keep top-tier players, like Argentina's national team star Enzo.

Recently, rumors have surfaced linking Enzo with Manchester City. Media and fans analyze that Enzo's extensive coverage and low injury susceptibility align well with Guardiola's tactical needs, fueling the growing speculation about Enzo joining City.

In response, Italian transfer expert Romano has followed up, reporting that Enzo indeed has not reached a renewal agreement with Chelsea, and the player has no intention to extend his contract. He aspires to compete for Premier League and Champions League titles. Manchester City has not yet taken action but has indeed conducted preliminary information gathering on Enzo.

From a personal perspective, Manchester City's recruitment style is swift and decisive, backed by financial power and action. Enzo would certainly command a sky-high transfer fee, and currently, few clubs in the market can afford him; City might be one of them. Enzo's actual transfer matters will likely be addressed after the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico. If Enzo performs well for Argentina in this World Cup, he is expected to leave Chelsea for a better club. Chelsea now focuses on buying young talents to develop and profit from resales, lacking any ambition for honors, which does not align with Enzo's career plans. Enzo and Manchester City are highly compatible; it depends on Guardiola's willingness. If Guardiola desires Enzo, City's management will fully support the manager to secure him. If Enzo firmly wants to leave, Chelsea will struggle to keep him, as the Blues prioritize profit over competing for the Premier League title. Moreover, Chelsea likely will not have Champions League football next season, meaning not only Enzo but surely more star players will seek to depart.
