Benfica have reportedly denied that a transfer for Enzo Fernandez has been sanctioned, following claims Chelsea had agreed a deal for the midfielder who is also being linked with Liverpool.
The 21-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough tournament with Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar, where Lionel Scaloni's side beat France in a dramatic final. Fernandez, 21, emerged as one the tournament's most exciting talents, with European clubs such as Real Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea all claimed to be chasing his signature.
It was reported by the Sun on Wednesday that Chelsea had agreed a £105m fee with Benfica to sign the midfielder. That fee meets the release clause on Fernandez's contract.
