Chelsea are pushing to sign Argentina World Cup hero and Benfica star Enzo Fernandez in the January transfer window. The 21-year-old midfielder has a £105million release clause but Todd Boehly is looking to structure a deal that favours the Blues.
The Blues are in the market for a new central midfielder with Jorginho and N'Golo Kante both out of contract at the end of the season. The west London outfit haven't signed a permanent signing in that position since paying Real Madrid £40million for Mateo Kovacic's services in 2018.
Chelsea had a bid rejected in the summer for Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez but are now focusing on securing a big-money deal for Fernandez. The talented Argentina international is keen on a move to Stamford Bridge after returning to action for Benfica following the World Cup.
