Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has responded to a social media shoutout from Liverpool ace Alexis Mac Allister.
The duo have recently linked up together again on international duty with World champions Argentina, with some impressive results.
Liverpool and Mac Allister had been through a tough period recently aftter being knocked out of the Champions League and losing the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle.
Meanwhile, it is understood that Real Madrid are plotting a move to sign Fernandez from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
Both players though, brushed off those distractions to ensure Argentina secured their qualification for next summer’s World Cup.

Liverpool and Chelsea need strong ends to the season
Football Insider Verdict
Following the disappointment of the last couple of weeks, Liverpool will be desperate not to throw away their 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League table with just nine games to go.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has come under pressure from fans recently, and so he too still needs to finish the season in a positive manner.
The Blues can of course still claim a trophy themselves, and are heavy favourites to do so in the UEFA Conference League, so they can ill afford to slip up either.
With that in mind, both clubs will be hoping that Mac Allister and Fernandez can continue their strong international form when they return to England.
