Chelsea's offer to Benfica for Enzo Fernandez reportedly included a huge transfer fee, Hakim Ziyech on a permanent basis, and two players on loan... CFC
The Blues had been optimistic about their chances of finalising the signing of the 2022 World Cup Young Player of the Tournament this week.
As it is a release clause, the Blues would have to cough up the fee in one single payment, which they are unwilling to do with Financial Fair Player regulators breathing down their neck. The 21-year-old is doing everything he can to force a move, having not turned up for two training sessions over the last week or so.
Should Chelsea pay €120m for Fernandez, his former club River Plate would receive €30m after including a 25% sell-on clause in the deal to sell the youngster. It is added that Chelsea also offered Benfica two players on loan – one of which isn’t even a Blues player yet!
