Chelsea Transfer News: Chelsea schedule new talks with Benfica over Enzo Fernandez move
Chelsea are keen on completing a deal for Enzo Fernandez and they are looking to secure an agreement with Benfica.
As per Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have scheduled a new round of talks on Monday and it remains to be seen whether the two parties can come to an agreement regarding a January transfer.
Enzo Fernandez has been a key target for the Blues this month but they have not managed to convince Benfica to lower their asking price for the 21-year-old.
The Portuguese outfit want the player’s €120 million release clause to be paid but Chelsea were hoping to sign him for a more reasonable amount.
As per Romano, Chelsea are now ready to raise their offer and reach the reported €120 million asking price. The final decision will now rest on the Benfica president Rui Costa.
It remains to be seen whether the Portuguese giants are prepared to sanction the departure of a key player so late in the window.
