Enzo Fernandez appears to make his future clear amid Benfica fears after Chelsea approach

Rising star Enzo Fernandez appears to have made it clear that he will be staying at Benfica for the foreseeable future.

The midfielder became a target for Chelsea at the start of the transfer window, with the Blues launching at least one bid to sign him. Benfica refused to sell the 21-year-old though, who recently won the young player award as Argentina lifted the World Cup.

While there have been tensions between himself and the Portuguese giants, Fernandez returned to the starting line-up for Benfica's clash with Varzim in the last 16 of the Taca de Portugal on Tuesday night.
