Chelsea have drawn a line in the sand over Enzo Fernandez, setting a Friday deadline for any club hoping to prise the midfielder away from Stamford Bridge — but only if they're willing to stump up £120m or more, according to BBC News.
The 25-year-old Argentina international's future has been the subject of speculation since March, when he first indicated he could be open to a move away from west London. Chelsea, however, appear determined not to be rushed into a cut-price sale, effectively daring suitors to meet their valuation before the window shuts or move on entirely.
The report doesn't name specific clubs pushing hardest for Fernandez, but the London club's stance suggests they'd be content keeping him if no one meets their asking price. Given his importance to Enzo Maresca's midfield and World Cup pedigree, letting him go on the cheap was never going to be an option — this deadline looks designed to force any interested party's hand rather than actively encourage an exit.
