EPL: No official offer for Fernández as Chelsea deadline expires – Reports

Chelsea have failed to receive any official offer for midfielder Enzo Fernández following the expiry of their reported 5pm UK deadline. According to reports, Chelsea had previously made a £120 million verbal exit clause available to Fernández's representatives at the end of May, but this arrangement has now been withdrawn. The club has informed Fernández's camp that the £120 million figure is "now off the table".

Consequently, any team interested in signing the Argentina international will need to negotiate directly with Chelsea, rather than relying on the previously discussed exit figure. Fernández, who joined Chelsea from Benfica in January 2023, remains under contract with the London club and continues to be an important part of their squad.
