Chelsea’s Deadline Day Drama

Mega deal pushed through and Ziyech change screwed up?

Enzo Fernandez’s move was a top priority at Chelsea, and the deal was signed just before midnight. But another burst because of bureaucratic negligence.

329.5 million – That’s how much Chelsea FC spent on eight newcomers in winter alone. Enzo Fernandez (22), best youngster at the World Cup in Qatar, is the latest achievement of the “Blues”. He comes from Benfica for 121 million euros, no Premier League club has ever paid that much for a player.

The transfer of what is now the fifth most expensive footballer in history (behind Neymar, Mbappé, Dembélé and Coutinho) was fixed shortly before midnight on Tuesday. The Londoners activated the exit clause of 120 million, but according to “Spox” had to add a million more so that they could pay off the mega sum in installments. 25 percent of it goes to River Plate, from where he only moved to the Portuguese capital in the summer of 2022 for 14 million.
