Chelsea could complete a transfer deal for 2022 World Cup star Enzo Fernandez as early as next week.
Real Madrid and Liverpool were previously linked with potential moves for the Argentina international but their interest has dropped off at the start of 2023.
The Blues now look to have the key advantage in the race to sign Fernandez during the winter transfer window as Graham Potter looks to bolster his midfield options for the second half of 2022/23.
Benfica have maintained their position to hold out for Fernandez’s full £120m release clause at the Estadio da Luz and Chelsea are willing to match it.
As per reports from Spanish outlet Relevo, an agreement is close, despite Chelsea looking to table a structured deal to Benfica.
The Premier League giants could offer €130m overall, with a €100m up front, plus €30m in annual payments and bonuses, to speed up negotiations, and avoid the deal breaking down in 2023.

we already have good players but our coach prefers playing english players ahead of others and his substitution has been questionable

Chelsea don't need him Chelsea need a good manager Chelsea have a good team already
But the player that you all want to buy his not better than any of Chelsea now so the coach have to get the best out of them or the players not playing for him

Your head is not correct at all the same players that play rubbish in TT ending time or the one that start playing rubbish now. Players are the problem because this is not the first time the players as always been playing bad and you here blaming coach every year

Enzo is a deep lying player maker usually in CDM or cm role while mount is a cam or cm that is a support attacker or shadow striker

we really need quality midfielders because this player's that we are having cannot take us anywere really no creative midfielders and no quality defensive midfielder and a top striker
creative MF....is a dying art ...in football....if u check...lots of clubs don't go tht route anymore.... which I believe is a mistake....

Assemble the right players and fire Potter to be replaced with a top class coach. Potter is empty- headed
spot on,Chelsea is assembling a better team 4 a better coach like d one at sporting lisbon
