Enzo Fernandez has spoken of his admiration for Declan Rice, but a summer move will not come cheap if Chelsea want to unite the two midfielders.
Argentine World Cup star Fernandez completed a move to Stamford Bridge on transfer deadline day, with the Blues parting ways with a British record transfer fee of £105m. The midfielder has taken the number five shirt vacated by Jorginho and made his debut on Friday in the goalless draw with Fulham.
With N'Golo Kante out of contract in the summer, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly could find himself dipping into the transfer market once more in the summer for midfield reinforcements. Rice has long been linked with a return to the club where he spent some of his youth career before joining current club West Ham, and the Blues' newest recruit is a fan.
