Chelsea have made a £105m offer for the Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernández, a World Cup winner with Argentina
Even that would be startling fee for Fernández, who has told Benfica he wants the move. The 22-year-old, who helped Argentina win the World Cup last month, would eclipse Jack Grealish as the most expensive player in the history of English football. Manchester City paid £100m to sign. Chelsea’s record buy is Romelu Lukaku, who joined from Internazionale for £97.5m. Lukaku was loaned back to Inter last summer.
The Belgium striker’s situation is a reminder that Chelsea, whose other midfield targets include Brighton’s Moisés Caicedo and Everton’s Amadou Onana, need to trim their squad. They have been busy this month, adding to Graham Potter’s options with the permanent additions of Andrey Santos, Benoît Badiashile, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke and the loan signing of João Félix.
Chelsea’s latest move was the £31m signing of Malo Gusto. The 19-year-old right-back, bought with a view to providing competition for Reece James, has been loaned back to Lyon for the rest of the season.£40m plus £5m in add-ons for the midfielder. It is unlikely Gallagher, who also has interest from Newcastle and Crystal Palace, would want to join Everton given they are in a relegation battle.
