The waving to the fans the Argentine did at the end of the game seemed to confirm that.<\/p>\n<h2>Chelsea accept star player wants out and are willing to settle for smaller fee<\/h2>\n<p>Phillips says that Chelsea want \u00a3100m, but \u201cwe could see a deal agreed for something closer to \u00a385m.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Considering the amortisation of Enzo\u2019s value following his \u00a3105m signing, that would mean we\u2019re just breaking even on his book value.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea, for their part \u201cdo want to sell now.\u201d The question is who might buy. Real Madrid have been linked a lot, Manchester City and PSG are also mentioned here. But are any of them willing to spend that sort of money? It\u2019s possible, but we can\u2019t see it being easy for Chelsea to get such a monster fee in this economy, especially when everyone knows Enzo is forcing his way out.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Fans are already getting very excited about Xabi Alonso\u2019s arrival at Chelsea, with predictions already coming in about next season.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea see Alonso as the man to change the culture at the club as well as the tactics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
