Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea faces one final hurdle (Sky Sports)
With time running out before the deadline, there is reportedly optimism from Chelsea that a deal can get done for Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
The lone hold-up, according to Sky Sports, is that the Blues want to pay six instalments over five years, while Benfica want three payments in two years. Chelsea’s reply was that, to pay in two calendar years, they want to pay less of a fee up-front.
