Chelsea Breaks Premier League Record In Signing Enzo Fernandez 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Feb 1, 2023 2:11 am

Chelsea have signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica after meeting his £106.8 million release clause. 

The deal breaks the previous Premier League record fee of £100m that Manchester City paid for Jack Grealish when he joined from Aston Villa in 2021.

The 22-year-old impressed for Argentina as they won the 2022 World Cup and was named the Young Player of the Tournament.

Benfica boss Roger Schmidt was not keen on seeing Fernandez leave, but had previously said their hands would be tied if a club paid the player\'s release clause.
