Chelsea could reportedly try again this month to sign Benfica's 21-year-old star Enzo Fernandez after previously making an "astonishing" bid.

“So when Chelsea, for example, offered €85million and Benfica speak of that being disrespectful due it being significantly below the release clause, €85million would be ambitious in the summer. But because Benfica keep reiterating at this point that it’s release clause or nothing there hasn’t been a great deal of movement in the last few days. In addition, Jacobs says Chelsea’s previous bid of €85million in January is “astonishing” when you consider the player’s valuation.

The Blues, meanwhile, have completed five other permanent transfers so far. David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Noni ...

A decision on whether the Blues want to activate that could be heavily determined by their midfield options come the end of May. Mount and Kovacic both see their contracts set to expire in 2024, with a deal for the former being seen as a priority by the ownership earlier in the season. With a substantial addition this month, perhaps the Blues can be more balanced in their assessment. There may be a consideration of leaving the deal until the summer but Chelsea could find themselves with greater competition. Chelsea's current position in the league table leaves their drawing power for the likes of Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice substantially weakened. Of course, Chelsea have been linked to a plethora of other central midfield targets including Moises Caicedo and Edson Alvarez who they attempted to sign late in the summer transfer window.

The Benfica president is ready to remind Chelsea that they would have to pay the full amount if they want to sign Enzo Fernandez. The problem faced by Chelsea is that the amount have to be deposited in full immediately. Benfica’s answer to the new Chelsea attempt is said to remain the same. The Blues had previously balked at the amount and had hoped to find a compromise but their hopes were eventually squashed. However, according to a Portuguese news outlet, Benfica are set to resist the new bid by Chelsea. Chelsea had explored other midfield options but have been unsuccessful in the quest.
