NewsGhana, Latest Updates and Breaking News of Ghana, News Ghana, https:\/\/www.newsghana.com.gh\/chelsea-set-120m-price-tag-for-enzo-fernandez\/Chelsea have set a \u00a3120 million asking price for midfielder Enzo Fernandez should he push for a summer exit to Real Madrid, a fee that would rank as the third-largest transfer ever conducted by an English club and a significant escalation from the valuations circulating in the market.
\nThe figure, reported to have drawn scorn from Chelsea insiders toward the \u00a370 million assessments that have appeared in foreign media, would place the Argentine\u2019s sale behind only Philippe Coutinho\u2019s \u00a3142 million move from Liverpool to Barcelona and Aleksandar Isak\u2019s \u00a3125 million transfer from Newcastle United to Liverpool in the history of English football exits.
\nChelsea signed Fernandez from Benfica for a then-British record \u00a3106.8 million in January 2023. He has been used across multiple roles under successive Chelsea coaches, including as a central midfielder, as a number 10 and occasionally wide on the left.
\nThe situation has been shaped by a difficult season for Chelsea, who failed to qualify for European football for the coming campaign. That outcome has tested Fernandez\u2019s commitment despite the club maintaining under current head coach Xabi Alonso that the Argentine remains part of their plans. Fernandez has reportedly indicated interest in leaving, and Real Madrid\u2019s pursuit is understood to be serious.
\nHis own public comments have added fuel to the speculation. Speaking in March, Fernandez said he found Madrid an appealing destination and that the city reminded him of Buenos Aires. \u201cI really like Madrid; it reminds me of Buenos Aires,\u201d he said. \u201cI get by in English, but I\u2019d be more comfortable in Spanish.\u201d
\nChelsea\u2019s decision to put a \u00a3120 million price on a player they insist they want to keep reflects their approach to long-term contracts as leverage. Fernandez is tied to the club until 2032, giving the Blues considerable negotiating power. Any club wishing to prise him away this summer will face both the \u00a3120 million fee and competition from Chelsea\u2019s insistence that he is part of their rebuild.
