Chelsea have agreed a deal with Benfica over the signing of Enzo Fernandez for a Premier League record transfer.
The 21-year-old impressed for Argentina at the World Cup and has since been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, while Liverpool and Real Madrid were also tipped to sign the midfielder. But it looks like Graham Potter's side have won the race to his signature in a whopping £112million deal.
According to Sky Sports Italy, Chelsea are 'very close' to completing a deal for Fernandez with the Blues thrashing out the final details ahead of a proposed transfer. The fee, which is slightly higher than Fernandez's release clause, would be paid in instalments if the final formalities can be wrapped up in the coming days.
