ESPN FC · Enzo Fernández and Transfer Deadline Day Deals! · 1 Sep 2026 podcast

De Zerbi was at Brighton and he got asked about Mudrick and what Chelsea were buying, and he said, you know, I think he could win the Ballon d'Or one day.

Well, I mean, he he's a he's a hundred miles away from that at the moment, but clearly he believes in the player.

The point is, though, all of this is on De Zerby now to make this work.

When you spend that kind of money and you've listened quite obviously to the manager with the Mudrick deal, with the Van Hecker deal, and I'm sure there are others in the mix as well that he's

had a heavy, heavy input into

He's quite a volatile character to Zerby.

This has got to come together quite quickly because I I mean I was at the game where they lost to Newcastle at the weekend and and there were a few boos at full time and there wasn't the fans' protest towards the ownership because they've spent the money.

There wasn't the fans' protest in the direction of Daniel Levy because he's not there anymore.

So it's only going to come back on the manager if this isn't pulled together and there's not some cohesion fairly quickly, because when you spend that money.

the pressure intensifies.

Will it work, Allie?

Well, this is a a bit of breaking news here.

Um I'm being told by uh somebody at Chelsea that after reaching a full written club to club agreement with Chelsea uh with Monaco for the transfer of Lamine Camara, Monaco have subsequently gone back on their word.

Uh the deal is now collapsed because Monaco have renegotiated the Balogun deal with Everton.

And Monaco have reneged on the agreement with Chelsea for Camara.

So it looks like that deal has collapsed, which is a big problem for Chelsea when we're talking about the midfield situation and the fact that they've allowed Enzo Fernandez to leave on the partly on the basis that they were getting um Camara in, and from what I'm told here, it looks as though the Camara deal is off.

the

Chelsea segment.

There it is.
