Chelsea to reignite Enzo Fernandez transfer pursuit before end of January window.
Chelsea are set to reignite their interest in World Cup winner Fernandez having failed to agree a deal to sign him from Benfica earlier in the month, according to The Guardian. The report states that the Blues will move back in for the midfielder, whose contract contains a £106 million release clause.

Fernandez was a breakout star for La Albiceleste as they lifted the 2022 World Cup and was named Young Player of the Tournament for his efforts in their success. The report claims that Benfica remain reluctant to sell for a price lower than his release clause and wish to keep him until at least the end of the season, even though Fernandez has ‘repeatedly’ told the club he wishes to join Chelsea.
