Enzo Fernandez was the best young player at the World Cup in Qatar, and Lisbon’s Benfica are inundated with attractive offers for the Argentine footballer.

Chelsea, huge offer for Benfica star – Enzo Fernandez could become the most expensive midfielder in history

According to Transfermarkt , Chelsea have made a huge offer to Benfica Lisbon to sign Enzo Fernandez, but the two teams are yet to agree on specific payment terms.

The 2021 Champions League winner is ready to offer at least €127 million for the Argentine, which would make him the most expensive midfielder in history. Currently, the leader of this rating is Paul Pogba.

Manchester United bought Pogba for 105 million euros in the summer of 2017.

Enzo Fernandez was the key man for Lionel Scaloni at the World Cup in Qatar and the 21-year-old scored a superb goal against Mexico.

If the deal were to be confirmed, River Plate, the club that brought Enzo Fernandez to big time football, would receive at least €30 million plus a percentage of the player’s sale.

Liverpool and Manchester United are also interested in the Argentine.

Journalists of The Times write that Lisbon Benfica is ready to offer Enzo Fernandez a new contract, which will also include a significant salary increase. If he agreed, his release clause would reach 200 million euros, not 120 as it is now.
