$5.3 Billion Worth American Owner Set to Bring Lionel Messi’s $130 Million Teammate in a Sensational Deadline Day Transfer

The level of spending at Chelsea this season is massive. They purchased young, technically gifted world-beaters to awaken the sleeping giant. And now, World Cup winner, Enzo Fernandez, joins the club from Benfica for a record transfer fee of $140 million. Roman Abramovich sold the club to $5.3 billion net worth entrepreneur Todd Boehly for £4.25 billion. Since then, a new revolution has started as a teammate of Lionel Messi aims to rule the English Premier League. 

Fernandez caught the attention of fans after his impactful performances for Argentina, which led to their third World Cup. Moreover, he captured the Young Player Award at the World Cup. All signs show that the signing will be crucial to Chelsea’s success. 

Enzo Fernandez’s record-breaking move to Chelsea

The English Premier League giants Chelsea FC has just signed Enzo Fernandez. The midfielder will break Chelsea’s transfer record of the $125 million they paid for Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku. Although Lukaku didn’t work out, Fernandez aims to be a key player for the club for years to come.

The club has spent heavily, signing young established players like Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, defender Benoit Badiashile, and Noni Madueke. Therefore, this signing would be another vital piece in the Graham Potter revolution. 

The deep-lying playmaker will provide a much-needed boost for Chelsea’s aging midfield. Significantly, Jorginho and N’Golo Kanté played an essential role for years in the middle of the park, but age is catching up for them. With only Mateo Kovacic and Conor Gallagher as recognized as midfielders, Fernandez would probably provide that much-needed bite in the central midfield position.

His key traits include a laser-beam passing range, the ability to regain possession under pressure, and anticipate dangerous situations that lead to making interceptions. With Kovacic at the base, they look to be the real deal. Currently, they are languishing in 10th, around 10 points behind the final Champions League spot occupied by Manchester United. 

Helping Lionel Messi to lift his first World Cup

Although he failed to start in the first two opening matches, Fernandez proved the difference for the team. Even Lionel Messi spoke highly about Fernandez’s talent. “I’m not surprised by Enzo. I know him and I see him train every day. He deserves it because he’s a spectacular player,” said Messi. 

Fernandez scored a stunning long-range goal against Mexico and provided one assist. He later on made five appearances with Argentina. In addition, he managed a pass completion rate of 88% and a tackle success rate of 69%. Coming to Chelsea at the raw age of 21, Potter probably has a team that can push toward the final Champions League spot. He became one of the key reasons why Lionel Messi won his first World Cup. 

Although the financial fair play rules come into the conversation, nobody could probably deny Chelsea’s stunning business. He picked it off from where Roman Abramovich ended up as Chelsea looks like a scary prospect for the future. Do you think Enzo Fernandez could become a superstar?
