Graham Potter’s Chelsea will hold further talks with Benfica over Enzo Fernandez, a player Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool also want to sign in the January transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.
The report has claimed that Chelsea plan to push ahead on New Year’s Day with their attempt to sign Argentina international midfielder Fernandez in the January transfer window.
The £106 million midfielder, who won the 2022 Qatar World Cup with Argentina, wants to move to the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners.
Chelsea could deal Enzo Fernandez blow to Liverpool
Chelsea’s stance on Fernandez will come as a blow for Liverpool, who have also been linked with the 21-year-old.
90min have reported that Liverpool have held talks with Benfica over Fernandez.
There were reports that Jurgen Klopp’s side were in pole position earlier this week.
However, it is Chelsea who are pushing ahead.
Today is New Year’ Day, but it seems that the Chelsea officials are going to work hard to get a deal done.
Chelsea are clearly very determined to sign Fernandez, and they could be able to strike a deal with Benfica over a transfer on New Year’s Day.
That the Blues are willing to hold further talks today could also convince Fernandez that they want him more than Liverpool do.
