Planet SportChelsea beat the clock to sign Enzo Fernandez and break the British transfer record
The Fernandez deal took Chelsea's spending since last summer past the ÂŁ550m barrier and broke the previous British transfer record, set by Manchester City following the signing of Jack Grealish for ÂŁ100m in August 2021. It represents a massive return on investment for Benfica, who had only just signed the player in August 2022 for a fee reported to be around ÂŁ8m. In announcing the deal, Benfica kept it very businesslike and strangely didn't include a farewell for the player.
