Chelsea look to be attempting to once again pull off a deal to sign Enzo Fernandez this window, with Record in Portugal even reporting a fresh offer has been put in today.

However, as was what was also in this same report above, TyC Sports (in the tweet below) in Argentina are reporting that Benfica are once again taking the same stance that Enzo is not for sale unless his full release clause is triggered, which of course, they wouldn’t be able to stop anyway.
🚨No hay oferta formal de ningún tipo de Chelsea por Enzo Fernández pese a los múltiples rumores.
*️⃣Diversas fuentes de Benfica me confirman que la postura para cualquier club es la misma: pagan la cláusula de salida o nada (€120M más los impuestos). El club no lo negociará. pic.twitter.com/33C1MV0ZVy— César Luis Merlo (@CLMerlo) January 24, 2023
Chelsea will have to now decide whether they want to go back in with a further offer for Enzo, pay his release clause, wait until the summer, or leave it altogether and go for other targets.
It looks like those who wanted an end to this saga might have to strap themselves in once again, as this isn’t over yet, by any means!
