Is the great novel of the European winter , because of the doubts, because of the ideas and turns and because of the figures that are in dance. Since his participation in the 2022 World Cup ended, Enzo Fernández has become the favorite player for several Premier League clubs. They probed him from Liverpool and Manchester United, but the one who went in depth was Chelsea. He made a first attempt, but Benfica rejected the offer. Even the player received a slap on the wrist for putting pressure for the operation to be done. He returned to play in the Lusitanian team, but everything seems to indicate that there will be a new episode in this story.
In the last few hours, Chelsea returned to the charge for Enzo . With a substantial improvement both in the figures and in the forms of payment. As reported by The Sun newspaper, the Blues are willing to pay a figure that exceeds the clause. It would be about €131 million euros to be paid in several installments, that is, about 11 million euros more than the armor that Benfica established when Fernández left River in mid-2022. The ball now belongs to the Portuguese, who will have to define if they accept the last proposal when there are a few hours left for the closing of the pass book.
For now, the German Roger Schmidt, coach of Benfica , announced at a press conference that the chance of losing Enzo Fernández is concrete: "We have to be prepared, especially when we are not in charge. It has a clause in the contract. If the player wants him and a club pays for him, we can't stop him. We have to be prepared and find solutions, but he's still our player. Let's see what happens in the next two days and then we'll focus on the players we have," he said. DT, almost resigned to Chelsea's offer and the player's position, who is willing to make the leap to the Premier League and has already agreed on everything with his new club.
Record sale and a millionaire figure for River.
Chelsea's proposal, above the termination clause, places the possible sale of Enzo Fernández as one of the five most expensive signings in the history of world football, only surpassed by Neymar (€222 million euros), Kylian Mbappé (€180 million), Phillippe Coutinho (€160 million) and Ousmane Dembélé (€135 million). In addition, he would become the Argentine player for whom they paid the most money at the time of a transfer. It would also be an all-time record for English football.
In the Millionaire they await this operation with great expectation. It is that River still has 25% of the economic rights of Enzo Fernández and could receive for this concept a sum close to 32,750,000 euros. For his part, the Biggest has yet to receive two bonuses of 2 million euros each for objectives to be met that are guaranteed by contract. And it would be necessary to add 3.5% for the solidarity mechanism, which would reach 4,585,000 euros. The total sum would exceed 41 million euros.
