Chelsea are stepping up their attempts to sign Enzo Fernandez in January with Portuguese media reporting that not only did representatives meet to discuss a deal, Benfica are now also said to be trying to find a replacement for him.
The 21-year-old midfielder jumped onto the scene in Qatar at the World Cup with some standout performances for eventual winners Argentina and now Chelsea are trying to beat their rivals to his signature.
Liverpool and Manchester United are also interested in the midfielder and he could be moving on less than 12 months after signing for his current club. Fernandez was picked up by Benfica over the summer for just £10million but has quickly made a name for himself, starting every game for Argentina after scoring in the second game against Mexico.
