World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez is determined to force through a £112m record move to Chelsea.
Chelsea are locked in talks with Benfica who are holding out on the buy-out clause inserted in Fernandez’s contract and are hopeful of getting a deal done. Argentina midfielder Fernandez has missed training after returning from his nation’s celebrations following their World Cup win.
Fernandez has made it clear he wants to move to Chelsea and the Premier League in what would be the biggest fee in English football history. It would overtake Jack Grealish ’s £100m move to Manchester City 18 months ago and is a staggering fee but underlines Chelsea’s determination to get the deal done.
