Enzo Fernandez insistence of Chelsea, one of the fast teams of the transfer period, continues.
Chelsea, which paid 208.5 million Euros in total for 7 transfers during the half-time transfer period, continues to work.
Chelsea, which is far from the championship race this season in the Premier League and has started to work on creating the squad for next season, wants to add Benfica's Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez to its squad. The British team, which turned to young names during the circuit, made attempts for the 22-year-old midfielder, but could not end the transfer.
According to the reports in the British press, the London team has given up the player's release fee of 120 million Euros for this transfer. However, the British team wants to pay this price in 3 installments and the negotiations are stuck at this stage. While this offer of Chelsea was not accepted by Benfica, who wanted to collect the termination fee in one go, Rui Costa, the head of the Portuguese team, aims to increase the release fee to 150 million Euros by offering a new contract to the 22-year-old midfielder who has won the World Cup with Argentina.
IF THE TRANSFER IS REALIZED, IT WILL BE A PREMIER LEAGUE RECORD
Less than 48 hours until the end of the interim transfer window in England. If Chelsea sign Enzo Fernandez in the interim transfer period by paying the contract termination fee, this transfer will be a Premier League record. The highest transfer fee paid for a player in the Premier League belongs to Jack Grealish, whom Manchester City signed from Aston Villa in August 2021 for 117 million euros.
