Chelsea could enable Graham Potter to unlock a dream midfield if Todd Boehly sanctions a mammoth deal for Enzo Fernandez.
The 21-year-old burst onto the scene during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, prompting interest from Europe's biggest clubs including Liverpool, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Chelsea. With the Blues already said to have held talks with Fernandez's agent Jorge Mendes, it is thought a deal could be agreed between the two clubs.
With it reported on Wednesday by The Sun that both Chelsea and the Portuguese side had agreed a deal, Benfica were quick to shut down any such talk, insisting that Boehly and co will have to pay out the remainder of Fernandez's contract with the club, with his release clause currently standing at a whopping £105million.
