Chelsea are understood to have made a £112million offer to Benfica for Enzo Fernandez.

Benfica have reiterated they wish to keep Fernandez but the 21-year old, who returned to Argentina at the weekend, is eager to make the move.

Further negotiations will take place later today as the Portuguese side decide whether to accept the structure of Chelsea’s offer.

The deal would make World Cup winner Fernandez the most expensive signing in Premier League history.
