“Really advanced” – Fabrizio Romano delivers latest positive Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea update

Chelsea have been working very hard in the last few days to try and seal a move to sign Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez.

The deal is a complicated and difficult one to get over the line, because it’s a large fee, and obviously Benfica do not want to lost their star player in the middle of the season.

Sources: Chelsea looking at Atletico Madrid right back this month!

But things now look very close, and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has the very latest on this deal this morning in today’s edition of Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing.

Romano confirms now that Chelsea are ‘really advanced’ to sign Enzo this month, but it is not yet a done deal.

Chelsea will continue to work on the deal as we enter a new week and hope to get it over the line now, with seemingly just some final details to be ironed out.

“At the moment there are negotiations ongoing for Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea will push this week to get it done, it’s really advanced, but it’s not completed yet,” Romano said.

“It will depend on Benfica, on president Rui Costa who always said he wanted €120m clause or nothing. It’s always open to other clubs until it’s done, but Liverpool will not pay €120m clause and never made an official bid despite fake news around.

“Chelsea would ideally like a different structure to the €120m clause, but the player really wants to join. It will be up to Benfica, though, so we’ll see what happens in the next few days.”

Player pushing, just the structure to sort out, sounds very positive now to me
