Chelsea has made a bid of 120 million euros for Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez, who is presently on loan at Benfica.
If Benfica accepts this offer and Enzo Fernandez joins Chelsea, it will be a British transfer record.
It is unclear whether the Blues’ purported installment-based offer will be approved in light of this latest bid.
If the transaction is confirmed, the sum will exceed the £100 million Manchester City paid Aston Villa for Jack Grealish in 2021.
TRANSFER: Chelsea on The Verge of Signing Benfica’s Enzo Fernandez
Fernandez was awarded the tournament’s youngest player when Argentina won the World Cup in Qatar.
Benfica manager Roger Schmidt stated that Chelsea’s pursuit of Fernandez was “closed,” and that Benfica had previously accused Chelsea of seeking to cause issues.
However, if there was no indication that an offer may be accepted, it’s unlikely that the Premier League team would have made a new one.
Meanwhile, Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomes has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with Wolves after leaving Flamengo.
