Chelsea receive boost in their pursuit of Enzo Fernandes

The Argentina international enjoyed the World Cup campaign, lifting the most desired trophy on December 18.

Right after the top tournament, the player was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge for the January transfer window.

According to The Guardian journalist Jacob Steinberg, Fernandez wants a move to Chelsea, and he has already told Benfica he doesn’t stay despite the Portuguese side’s trials to keep him until summer.

The journalist has added that Chelsea’s €127m bid would definitely be accepted. 

Enzo Fernandez has again told Benfica he doesn't want to play for them any more. They would definitely accept a bid of €127m from Chelsea, even if paid over three instalments. Benfica have been trying to get Fernandez to stay until the summer #cfc
