According to sources close to the situation, the Blues are unwilling to negotiate a cut-price deal for the 24-year-old, who only arrived at Stamford Bridge in January 2023.\n\nFernández joined Chelsea from Benfica in a deal worth £106.8m, a British transfer record at the time, and signed a contract running until 2031. His arrival was seen as a major coup following his instrumental role in Argentina's 2022 World Cup triumph, where he was named the tournament’s Best Young Player. However, the London club's on-field struggles have failed to match the midfielder's pedigree, with Chelsea missing out on Champions League qualification for the second consecutive season.\n\nThe club’s financial position means they must recoup significant funds for any star player seeking an exit, and Fernández is no exception. Chelsea are acutely aware that a sale at below market value could harm their compliance with financial regulations, especially after heavy investment in new signings over recent transfer windows. The £120m figure reflects both the player's perceived worth and the owners' determination not to make a loss on their investment.\n\nWhile there is no indication that Fernández has formally requested a transfer, tensions have simmered within the squad amid a season of underperformance. The midfielder has remained a regular starter under manager Enzo Maresca, but his form has been inconsistent, mirroring the team's erratic results. Any potential departure would rely on Fernández himself agitating for a move, triggering the club's firm stance on valuation.\n\nEuropean clubs seeking a dynamic, ball-playing midfielder will undoubtedly monitor the situation, though meeting Chelsea's demands would represent a major financial commitment. With the summer transfer window approaching, the Stamford Bridge hierarchy is bracing for inquiries but has drawn a clear line in the sand: only a deal that matches their record-breaking fee will be considered.\n\nChelsea's hard-nosed approach highlights the new reality under the Clearlake Capital ownership, where player trading is increasingly dictated by balance-sheet considerations. Fernández, for all his talent, now finds himself at the centre of a high-stakes stand-off that could define the club's summer strategy. Whether any suitor steps forward with an acceptable offer remains to be seen.\n\nBased on reporting from ESPN.","news","Chelsea will demand around £120m ($161m) if Enzo Fernández pushes for a summer transfer, according to sources.
