Chelsea have reportedly given interested clubs until Friday to table offers worth £120m for Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez, according to BBC News.
The World Cup winner, signed from Benfica in a British-record deal back in January 2023, has been the subject of transfer interest, though the report does not specify which clubs are pushing to sign him.
By setting a firm deadline and price tag, Chelsea appear intent on forcing any suitors to make a swift decision rather than allow a prolonged saga to drag into the final days of the window. Whether any club is prepared to meet the asking price remains to be seen, and BBC News stops short of naming genuine contenders.
Fernandez has been a regular fixture in Enzo Maresca's midfield since his arrival, but the club's willingness to entertain bids at this figure suggests he could yet depart before the window shuts — provided a buyer is willing to match Chelsea's valuation before time runs out.
