After a report that the Argentine is closer to joining them than Manchester City’s Rodri, Sky Sports News have reported that the Blues are holding out for a big fee to part ways.
They are requiring a transfer fee of at least £100m for their World Cup winner, close to the fee they paid to sign him from Benfica back in 2023.
Chelsea have not been afraid to part ways with players not long after they have been signed, however this has so far not affected their big-name players.
Given Fernandez’s quality, there is a clear need to spend big in the transfer market to replace him going into next season.
Chelsea have looked close to home in the form of Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton, however both have multiple Premier League admirers.
There are a number of more experienced options on the market too, with Leon Goretzka a free agent at the end of the season.
Chelsea fans were split on signing Goretzka, and it would be an addition which massively goes against their project and signing younger players.
