Amazing sources claim that the negotiations between Chelsea and Benfica regarding Enzo Fernandez have failed.

Due to Fernandez's heroics for Argentina at the 2022 World Cup, there have been a lot of transfer rumors.

The World Cup champion shone in Qatar and won Young Player of the Competition.

Liverpool and Manchester United are rumored to be keeping an eye on the 21-year-old, who has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League.

Not to mention Chelsea, who seemed to have the upper hand in acquiring the brilliant midfielder.

The failure of negotiations between Chelsea and Benfica, however, was reported by South American journalist CLMerlo.

He tweeted that after several days of negotiations, Benfica decided not to sell Enzo Fernández to Chelsea.

The English powerhouses' $106 million release clause for the player must be paid in full, according to the Portuguese club.

For the purpose of avoiding financial fair play limitations, the Blues had offered an arrangement in which they would pay the price in three payments.

Some admirers and detractors have expressed concern over Fernandez's exorbitant price tag, with Gary Neville raising the issue.

"Is Chelsea spending €127 million on Enzo Fernandez?" "That is a rather steep price," he tweeted. Bloody hell, he's a pretty good gamer.

A supporter commented on his post. I didn't notice you expressing any worry about the price Antony chose.

such as Pogba When you guys do it, it's fine, but nobody else can spend.

With a tweet that read, "Agree with Anthony (he's a lot to do to reach to 95m price tag)," Neville fired back. Pogba had experience before joining United, so it's not comparable.
