Chelsea prepared to pay Enzo Fernandez's €120m release clause

Chelsea have told Benfica they are prepared to pay Enzo Fernandez's €120m (£105m) release clause. Chelsea have not given up on trying to sign the midfielder before the transfer window closes on Tuesday. They have offered players on loan and on permanent deals but Benfica have so far refused to accept anything except the release clause. Fernandez wants to move to Chelsea and has again told Benfica of his desire to join Graham Potter's side. Chelsea want to structure the payment in installments as paying in one go has financial fair play and tax implications. #SkySportsNews #SkySports #chelseafc
