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

n n

Chelsea have not received any official offer for Enzo Fernández after the club’s reported 5pm UK time deadline passed.

n

According to Fabrizio Romano on X on Friday, Chelsea had made a £120 million verbal exit figure available to Fernández’s representatives at the end of May.

n

However, that arrangement has now been withdrawn, with the reported deadline passing without any official bid being submitted for the Argentina international.

n

Chelsea have reportedly informed Fernández’s camp that the £120 million verbal exit clause is “now off the table”.

n

The development means any club still interested in signing the midfielder will have to negotiate directly with Chelsea rather than relying on the previously discussed figure.

n

Fernández joined Chelsea from Benfica in January 2023 and remains under contract with the London club.

n

The midfielder has since become an important part of Chelsea’s squad and has continued to feature prominently for the club.

n

With no official offer received before the deadline, Fernández remains a Chelsea player, and the reported £120 million verbal exit arrangement is no longer available to potential suitors.

n

PUNCH Online had reported that the Pride of London had set a Friday deadline for clubs interested in Fernández to submit offers of at least £120m for the midfielder.n
