Chelsea’s summer is entering a decisive stage as Xabi Alonso prepares to work with his squad for the first time.

In Episode 192 of the From The Shed End Podcast, we discuss Real Madrid’s public denial of interest in Enzo Fernández, whether his agent has created unnecessary uncertainty, and why Chelsea should demand at least £130 million if the midfielder is ever sold.

We also react to the latest Granit Xhaka developments, debate whether Chelsea still need an experienced midfielder, and look ahead to the players reporting for pre-season under Alonso.

Other topics include Marco Palestra’s role, the competition between Reece James and Malo Gusto, the players fighting for their Chelsea futures, and the biggest decisions Alonso must make before the new season.

Follow From The Shed End and let us know: should Chelsea keep Enzo, and what should Alonso’s strongest midfield look like?
