DEAL DONE! Enzo Fernandez deal with Chelsea will be finalized this week.

The negotiations between Chelsea and Benfica to sign midfielder Enzo Fernandez this week are moving along rather well.

With Argentina, Fernandez starred at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. It is commonly believed that Fernandez would depart Benfica during the January transfer window.

Fabrizio Romano, a transfer expert, said that discussions for Enzo Fernandez are now underway. Chelsea will strive to close the deal this week, but it has not yet been done.

Rui Costa, the president of Benfica, has always said that he wants a £106 million clause or nothing at all.

“The player definitely wants to come, but Chelsea would prefer a different structure to the £106 million clause,” the source said. However, it will be up to Benfica, so we’ll have to wait and watch what transpires over the coming days.

Over Liverpool and Manchester United, Chelsea is already in the lead to capture the Argentine great.
