According to David Ornstein at The Athletic, Chelsea has made a £105 million transfer offer for Benfica’s Enzo Fernandez. The size of the Enzo Fernandez offer will be pleasing for the player, as Ben Jacobs has stated that the Argentinian is “preparing for a move” to the West London club.
Chelsea Make £105 Million Enzo Fernandez Offer
What Does the Enzo Fernandez Offer Look Like?
The Blues’ most recent offer to Benfica is a significant package. Todd Boehly’s club are looking to pay approximately £105 million for the midfielder, with the London club desperate to complete a move before the window slams shut.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, meetings are still ongoing between the two clubs with the Blues trying to pay the fee in several instalments. One potential flaw of this strategy is that it won’t breach the release clause, which is to be paid in one large sum. That leaves a lot of room for negotiation.

Does Enzo Fernandez Want the Move?
There is clear evidence that the player is looking to secure a move. According to Fabrizio Romano, there are “no issues” on the player side or with personal terms, which makes the move far easier for Chelsea’s negotiators to complete. Meanwhile, Benfica won’t want an asset that wants to leave, especially if he already has an agreement with another club.

Will the Move Get Done?
There is no reason to believe that Enzo Fernandez won’t be a Chelsea player by the end of the window. After all, Graham Potter has seen a lot of investment at his back throughout the window, which should drive the club to greater levels of success towards the end of the season. The leadership at Stamford Bridge have more than enough financial clout to get the deal done, and the Portuguese club are surely looking at this as an excellent way to earn a huge fee.
