Chelsea’s Argentine midfielder, Enzo Fernandez, is under investigation by the club after sharing a video on social media featuring a song with racist lyrics. The video depicts Fernandez and some of his Argentina teammates singing a song that mocks black players on the French national team following their Copa America victory over Colombia.
The French Football Federation condemned the song as racist, and Fernandez’s Chelsea teammate, Wesley Fofana, described it as “uninhibited racism.”
Fernandez has apologized, expressing that he is “truly sorry” and that he stands “against discrimination in all forms.” He claimed that the video and lyrics do not reflect his true beliefs or character.
Chelsea has announced it is conducting an internal disciplinary procedure, emphasizing that the club rejects all forms of discriminatory behavior and appreciates Fernandez’s public apology. There is also a possibility that FIFA may open its own investigation, which could result in significant sanctions for the 23-year-old.
In other news, Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has signed a new one-year contract, extending his stay with the club until June 2025. This agreement resolves any uncertainty about his future, especially after his midfield partner, Toni Kroos, announced his retirement at the end of the season. Modric, who joined Real Madrid from Tottenham in 2012, will now complete 13 seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu.
