Enzo Fernandez has thanked Todd Boehly and Chelsea for "doing everything they could" to get his £107million move over the line.
Fernandez, 22, has signed an eight-and-a-half-year contract at Stamford Bridge after the Blues paid Benfica a British-record transfer fee. The Argentina international's fee has eclipsed Jack Grealish's £100m move from Aston Villa to Manchester City in August 2021.
The move went down to the wire with Fernandez undergoing a deadline day medical in Lisbon after a late breakthrough in talks before paperwork was submitted just in time. And he made reference to the lengths Chelsea went to in order to bring him to Stamford Bridge in his first words on the club website.
