Enzo Fernandez given 'ultimatum' by Benfica amid Chelsea transfer speculation

Enzo Fernandez has been told to show up to training on Tuesday by Benfica after the Chelsea target returned to Argentina without the club's permission on New Year's Eve.

Fernandez, 21, has been linked with a move away from the Portuguese giants in recent weeks after playing a starring role in Argentina's recent World Cup triumph. The midfield maestro, who was crowned as the Young Player of the Tournament, reportedly has a huge €120million (£105.6m) release clause written into his contract - but that hasn't deterred several interested suitors.

As well as Chelsea, the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United have also been credited with an interest in Fernandez' services; and it appears that the youngster is edging closer to an exit.
