In it, The Sun also revealed, Chelsea club is ready to spend money immediately and package to have Enzo Fernandez if an agreement is reached.
Currently, Enzo Fernandez, after the holidays to celebrate the 2022 World Cup championship in his home country in Argentina, has flown to Portugal and is with his agent, “super agent” Jorge Mendes, considering offers. According to the Portuguese newspaper Record, it is also possible that the 21-year-old star chooses to stay at Benfica until the end of the current season to conquer the goal of winning the Champions League as desired.
