  • Chelsea fans booed midfielder Enzo Fernandez during a friendly match against Real Sociedad.
  • Fernandez, who has expressed a desire to leave the club, was jeered when he came on as a substitute.
  • Despite the booing, other supporters backed the player, while Chelsea has reportedly set a £120 million asking price for him.

Chelsea supporters booed midfielder Enzo Fernandez as he entered the pitch during a pre-season friendly against Real Sociedad on Saturday. The Argentinian player was met with jeers from several fans when he substituted Reece James in the 62nd minute of the match at Stamford Bridge.

Fernandez has previously made his desire to leave Chelsea known to the club in May. Despite this, some sections of the crowd offered their support to the 25-year-old. Chelsea has reportedly placed a £120 million asking price on the Argentina international, but no bids have been received during the current transfer window.

Record signing Morgan Rogers scored on his debut at Stamford Bridge, converting a rebound after Joao Pedro's header was saved. Pedro himself scored twice, bringing his pre-season total to eight goals, and ensuring victory for new manager Xabi Alonso in the team's final match before their Premier League opener against Fulham. Jon Aramburu had earlier equalized for the Spanish side.
