Report: Chelsea set asking price as PSG circle midfield gem
Paris Saint-Germain are lining up a major summer move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández, but the Blues have made it clear that any deal will come at a premium.
With long-term control over the Argentina international, Chelsea are determined to hold firm as interest from Paris begins to gather momentum.
Chelsea dig in over Fernández valuation
Chelsea have reportedly placed a hefty asking price of between €100 million and €140 million on Fernández, reflecting both his importance to the team and the strength of his contract situation.
The World Cup winner is tied to Stamford Bridge until 2032, putting the Premier League club in a commanding negotiating position.
The Blues view Fernández as a central pillar of their midfield project, meaning any potential sale would only be considered if their valuation is fully met.
Such a fee would place the transfer among the biggest deals in world football, underlining just how highly Chelsea rate the former Benfica star.
PSG step up interest as Madrid bow out
PSG have emerged as the most serious suitors, with reports indicating that the Ligue 1 champions have made informal contact with Fernández’s representatives.
While no formal bid has been submitted yet, their interest is described as concrete, and preparations are being made for a significant summer approach.
Real Madrid, who were previously linked with the Argentine, are no longer in the race, effectively leaving PSG as the leading contender.
Even so, the French giants are fully aware that prising Fernández away from Chelsea will be difficult, given the length of his contract and the club’s firm stance on his valuation.
