Everything seemed to be ready for Enzo Fernández to sign with Chelsea from Benfica but talks between the two clubs have concluded. No deal has been reached as Chelsea’s offer was much lower than the price expected from the Portuguese club.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea’s final bid was €85 million. Benfica’s president Rui Costa mentioned several times that the club would only consider a sale within this transfer market by the amount of Fernández’s release clause, which is €120 million. Hence, negotiations have stopped.

Benfica’s manager Roger Schmidt has been very harsh on how Chelsea handled Enzo’s negotiation:

“They’re disrespectful, they’re leaving the player crazy. They acted like they wanted to pay the clause… then want to negotiate.”

Matías Soulé started for Juventus and had a great piece of skill and nearly scored.

Soulé started for Juventus in their 1-0 win vs. Cremonese and played well but it was the first half which had people talking. The Argentine received the ball out on the wing and flicked it in between the legs of a Cremonese player and dribbled to get through.

The 19 year old nearly gave Juventus the 1-0 lead as a curling shot from outside of the penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper. He was substituted out after 55 minutes for Federico Chiesa while Leandro Paredes was brought in 66 minutes into the match.

He will not be released by Juventus for the Argentina U20 team which will play in the Sudamericano this month and February.
