Chelsea are slowly running out of time to complete the signing of Enzo Fernandez from Benfica. The midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to west London after his impressive performances at the World Cup and has been the subject of a £105million bid.
football.london understands that the Blues have held extensive talks with the Portuguese side over the past few days. However, the two parties remain in a deadlock over the structure of the payment that will make Fernandez Chelsea's most expensive player.
The Argentine midfielder has been on Chelsea's radar for some time and has been made a priority throughout the transfer window. After failing to seal a deal earlier in the month, alternatives were pursued including Brighton and Hove Albion star Moises Caicedo.
