Chelsea given Enzo Fernandez transfer ultimatum by Benfica president Rui Costa as bid rejected

Benfica have told Chelsea in simple terms what it will take to sign Enzo Fernandez in the January transfer window. The 21-year-old Argentina international has come up on their radar and could be the answer to their midfield issues.

Fernandez has gone back to Portugal as a World Cup winner after starring for Lionel Scaloni's side and has taken the attention of the world with him. Having only joined the Lisbon-based side in the summer he has risen to prominence with standout performances in the Champions League as well.

The club themselves have an excellent recent record when it comes to transfers and managed to acquire £85million for Darwin Nunez last summer too. With a chasing pack behind Chelsea in the race to secure Fernandez there is little doubt that Benfica are set to make a massive profit on the £10million investment they made for him.
