Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez said he did not know whether he would be at the club next season following the Blues’ Champions League exit to Paris St-Germain.
Chelsea lost 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday having suffered a 5-2 defeat in last week’s first leg.
Fernandez joined Chelsea for what was a British record transfer fee of £107m (121m euros) in January 2023 and has played more than 150 games for the club.
But asked by ESPN if he would be with the club next season, the 25-year-old said: “I don’t know, there are eight games left and the FA Cup. There’s the World Cup and then we’ll see.”
Fernandez, who has made 45 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea this season, scoring 12 goals and making six assists, was replaced after 60 minutes at Stamford Bridge.
“I think we failed to control the game. In the first leg, we lost focus in the final 15 minutes and conceded three goals, and here it happened at the very start,” added Fernandez, who captained the side in Reece James’ absence.
“At this level, you can’t concede two goals so quickly because of small details. Ultimately, over the two legs, PSG were the better side and deserve to go through.
“Since I arrived at Chelsea, we have already passed through similar situations and we were able to turn them around.
“Now, our focus must be on winning the FA Cup and achieving our goal of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.”
