The feeling amongst Chelsea supporters has started to transition into a nervous and anxious one as Enzo Fernandez's move from Benfica continues to stall.
Fernandez is undergoing a medical in Lisbon this evening ahead of a £105million move this month, football.london understands. Extensive talks have taken place throughout the day between the two clubs, with the structure of payments proving to be a key factor in the completion of the deal.
The World Cup winner has been a priority for Todd Boehly throughout the January transfer window and could become the most expensive player in Chelsea history should he complete the move to Stamford Bridge. He would also become the Premier League's most-costly signing, surpassing Jack Grealish' £100m transfer from Aston Villa to Manchester City in 2021.
