Chelsea have signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for a British transfer record fee.

The deal for the Argentine surpasses the £100m Manchester City paid for Jack Grealish from Aston Villa 18 months ago.

The 22-year-old, who only joined Benfica last summer for just £10m, has signed an eight-and-a-half-year deal at Stamford Bridge to keep him at the club until the summer of 2031.

Chelsea had been in talks to get the World Cup winner all through January, but Benfica had refused the Blues offers unless they pay his €120m release cause.

But Chelsea agreed a deal of €121m at 9.15pm on Deadline Day after 12 hours of talks led by Chelsea’s co-owner Behdad Eghbali from London.

The Blues will pay a first instalment of £30m with the rest of the fee paid in five further instalments.

The player was left out of Benfica’s squad in their victory last night, with the 22-year-old undergoing a medical in Portugal ahead of his switch to Stamford Bridge.

According to Daily report, Fernandez will fly to the UK on Wednesday morning, with a private jet scheduled to leave Lisbon airport at 10.20am.

Fernandez will help to replace Jorginho, who joined Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal on Deadline Day in a £12m deal.
