Chelsea have reportedly enquired about a possible deadline-day deal for Bayern Munich midfielder Marcel Sabitzer as the Blues search for possible alternatives to Benfica's Enzo Fernandez.
football.london understands that Chelsea have held intense talks with the Portuguese outfit and a bid in excess of the £105 million release clause in Fernandez's contract has been submitted.
However, the fee proposed would be spread out over instalments rather than being paid in full. The 22-year-old is eager to join and it is understood that Fernandez has informed Benfica that he wishes to move to West London.
