Transfer news LIVE: Chelsea deal confirmed, Man Utd bomb sale, Arsenal take next step
Chelsea have made the boldest move yet in their pursuit of Enzo Fernandez as reports from Portugal indicate a £115million bid is on the way to Benfica.
Confusingly, that figure is higher than the midfielder's £105m release clause, but Chelsea reportedly want to stagger the payment, while Benfica would naturally prefer the money up front. The inflated figure is therefore an attempt to influence the Portuguese side towards its terms.
According to Liverpool, Man Utd and Real Madrid are watching closely and there is a feeling that at least one team will try their luck in January.
