Chelsea Set to Break Transfer Record for Enzo FernándezChelsea Set to Break Transfer Record for Enzo Fernández London, UK – Premier League giants Chelsea are poised to shatter their club transfer record by signing Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernández from Benfica. According to multiple reports, the Blues are expected to pay a staggering £105 million to secure the services of the highly-rated 22-year-old. Fernández has emerged as one of the most promising young talents in world football since joining Benfica from River Plate in 2022. He played a pivotal role in Argentina’s triumphant World Cup campaign in Qatar, winning the Young Player of the Tournament award. The move for Fernández would eclipse the previous British transfer record of £100 million, which Chelsea paid for Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan in 2021. It would also be the most expensive signing in the history of any Portuguese club. Chelsea’s pursuit of Fernández is motivated by their desire to strengthen their midfield following a series of disappointing results this season. The Blues are currently tenth in the Premier League standings and have struggled to create chances or control possession. Fernández is known for his technical ability, vision, and passing range. He is comfortable playing in multiple midfield positions and has the potential to become a key player for Chelsea in the years to come. Chelsea manager Graham Potter is said to be a big admirer of Fernández and is eager to add his quality and creativity to the team. The Blues are expected to finalize the deal in the coming days, potentially before the January transfer window closes. If the move is completed, Fernández will become the most expensive player in Chelsea’s history and one of the most sought-after young stars in world football. The Blues will be hoping that his arrival will help them turn their season around and challenge for silverware.
