Enzo Fernández demands DOUBLE salary at Chelsea — but Todd Boehly’s nine-word response leaves him stunned and speechless

“Enzo’s demand for a doubled salary sparks tension as Boehly’s nine-word reply leaves the midfielder stunned.”

 

 

Chelsea Football Club has once again been thrown into the center of a massive internal storm after reports emerged that Enzo Fernández has officially requested a dramatic increase in his salary — one that would place him above Reece James, the club’s current highest-paid homegrown star.

 

According to insiders, Enzo believes his contributions, consistency, and sacrifices for the club have gone largely unnoticed, and he finally decided to make his frustrations known.

 

What followed next was a moment that left the entire Chelsea camp buzzing.

“I’VE GIVEN SO MUCH… BUT NEVER RECEIVED WHAT I DESERVE”

 

Sources claim Enzo Fernández approached Chelsea’s management with a firm and emotional message:

 

> “I’ve given so much to this team, yet I’ve never received the reward I deserve.”

 

 

 

This wasn’t a spontaneous outburst.

This was the result of:

 

Months of feeling undervalued

 

Being under constant pressure

 

Carrying expectations as Chelsea’s marquee midfield signing

 

Witnessing other players earn more despite lower performance levels

 

 

To underline his point, Enzo reportedly demanded a salary doubled, placing him above nearly every player in the squad, including Reece James.

 

For a moment, silence dominated the boardroom.

TODD BOEHLY RESPONDS — AND THE ROOM FREEZES

 

The part that stunned fans the most?

Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly personally responded.

 

Not through an agent.

Not through a representative.

But directly — face-to-face.

 

Witnesses described the atmosphere as tense, cold, and pin-drop silent.

 

Boehly then delivered nine words that reportedly left Enzo Fernández completely speechless:

 

> “Earnings follow leadership — not complaints or comparisons. Prove it.”

 

 

 

Those nine words echoed through the entire building.

 

Enzo, who came into the conversation with confidence and expectation, was reportedly left embarrassed, quiet, and unsure how to respond.

THE CHELSEA DRESSING ROOM REACTS

 

Inside the squad, reactions are split:

 

Some players support Enzo, believing that:

 

He works harder than most

 

He’s carried the midfield in major moments

 

His salary does not reflect his importance

 

 

But others side with Boehly, claiming:

 

The timing of his demand is wrong

 

The team’s current form does not justify salary disputes

 

Leadership must be shown on the pitch, not in the office

 

 

One insider put it bluntly:

 

> “This could split the dressing room if not handled quickly.”
