Benfica Lisbon reaches into their bag of tricks in poker for Enzo Fernández. According to information from the Argentine journalist César Luis Merlo, who works for the well-known ‘TyC Sports’, among others, the Portuguese record champions broke off negotiations with Chelsea last Wednesday evening.
The background: Benfica demands without ifs and buts the 120 million euros that were contractually fixed as a transfer for Fernández. Chelsea, on the other hand, would prefer to pay the desired player in three installments, according to Fabrizio Romano the immediate sum offered is only 85 million euros.
So the Portuguese have put the talks on hold for the time being. However, January is still young. It is quite conceivable that the personnel will pick up speed again if the Blues make concessions.
