Fernandez undergoing Chelsea medical in Portugal ahead of PL record deal


Enzo Fernandez is currently undergoing a medical ahead of his proposed Premier League record move to Chelsea.

Portuguese broadcaster SIC have told Sky Sports News the midfielder is at Lisbon's Hospital of Light as Chelsea race to get the £105m deal done before Tuesday's 11pm transfer deadline

Club officials are understood to be in Lisbon as they work to get a deal over the line, with Chelsea having told Benfica they are prepared to pay Fernandez's £105m (€120m) release clause

The Argentine World Cup winner has informed Benfica again he wants to join Chelsea before the window shuts.

Chelsea want to structure the payments in instalments as paying in one go has financial fair play and tax implications.
