As in any negotiation, nothing is closed until the contract is signed and anything can happen. The novel that has as protagonists Enzo Fernández, Chelsea Y Benfica It is no exception for this reason, despite the worldwide expectation generated by what could be a record pass, for the moment there is no agreement. The reason? Because the parts are very close and at the same time none of them compromise on the final details.
The interviews are daily. There are continuous meetings and calls to try to close the crossing which, as reported by Portugal, It has some obstacles to solve. In the midst of the uproar generated by the former River’s participation in the World Cup, Benfica marked the pitch from the start and made it clear that they will only let the player go if he receives, at least, the amount of a €120m release clause.
Despite the interest of various giants of the Old Continent, Chelsea bet on the tip and were willing to pay that amount. While in the Stamford Bridge offices they were preparing a juicy contract for Enzo, which the English press reveals is close to seven million euros a year, the club offered to pay 127 million euros, but in four installments of 31.75 million each.
For the moment, this proposal did not convince Benfica and was rejected by the president, Rui Costa, who intends to receive tickets in the short term. However, Chelsea tries to avoid putting the 120 million on the table He doesn’t rule out raising the final figure to 130 million euros, with which the 10 million difference could be due to goals and games played. Thus, although nothing seems to indicate that the negotiation could fail, the parties continue to try to reach an agreement that leaves everyone satisfied.
What’s going on in Chelsea?
While the player continues to train with Las Águilas and the management intend to keep him in every possible way to fight for the Champions League, even appealing for a salary increase, in London they continue with a low profile: the DT Graham Potter avoided talking about this situation and skidded off the question with class.
“The problem is that if I specifically respond to a rumour, all players in that position will be assigned to Chelsea. So I’m deviating from that topic and I hope you understand why. I am the coach and my responsibility is with the players who are here”, expressed in the conference prior to this Thursday’s fall against Manchester City, from the Premier League.
“We try to improve the team whenever we can, but January is a difficult time because we are in the middle of the season and we have to deal with all the noise around the club and all the players signing up for Chelsea. I’m not commenting on the situation of any non-Chelsea players. Boring answer as always, but my job is to help the players out here. and help the club make decisions about how to improve the squad.”
In River are waiting
In the event of a hypothetical sale for 120 million eurosa total of 30 million European currency would enter River’s coffers for 25% of the pass it has in its possession. Furthermore, if you add the money that has already entered Núñez (for a total of 14,000,000), CARP would accumulate a total of 44 million for the native of San Martín.
