Javier Pastore, the agent of Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández, has publicly denied a recent report claiming his client was suspended by the club. The Athletic reported that Pastore refuted the story, which alleged Fernández was dropped from the squad for 'flirting' with a potential move to Real Madrid.
In a statement to The Athletic, Pastore called the report "false" and clarified that there was no disciplinary suspension for Fernández. He emphasized that the player remains focused on his commitments with Chelsea.
No official sources from Chelsea FC or Real Madrid have corroborated the original suspension claim. Fernández, who joined Chelsea in January 2023, continues to be a part of the club's first-team plans according to his representation.
