Chelsea have been publicly shamed right now by Benfica and plenty of media retailers reporting on the Enzo Fernandez deal, and to be trustworthy, if stories are to be believed, you may perceive why.
It appears like Chelsea to start with agreed a verbal payment with Benfica, after which went again on that payment and provided much less. It’s laborious to know precisely what has been taking place with this one, with so many contrasting stories flying round. So a pinch of salt IS additionally wanted right here, but it surely definitely doesn’t look nice on our aspect.

This has led to offended responses in public from the Benfica supervisor, saying Chelsea have disrespected them in negotiations. He has a degree, IF that is all true.

I don’t know why we don’t simply pay the complete clause if we’re ready to pay 80m euros. It’s solely an additional 30 odd million euros, which on this enterprise is simply pennies. To get this far in negotiations and never conclude it, appears daft and a waste of time to me. And it’s simply be tarnishing the title of Chelsea.
There may be all the time two sides to a narrative and I’m positive Chelsea would have a distinct aspect. However I doubt we’ll ever hear that aspect.
It’s not a perfect have a look at all, particularly breaking down relations with Benfica, a membership that Chelsea have loved good relations with prior to now and have signed some high gamers from. It’s all reasonably regarding in the event you ask me.
