Chelsea are prepared to demand a fee of around £120 million ($161 million) for Enzo Fernández should the Argentina midfielder push for a departure this summer, sources have told ESPN.

The hefty valuation signals the club's firm stance on one of their most high-profile assets, as the Blues look to retain their star players ahead of the new season. Any club hoping to prise Fernández away from Stamford Bridge will need to meet Chelsea's considerable asking price.

Fernández joined Chelsea in January 2023 from Benfica in a deal worth £106.8 million — a British transfer record at the time — and the club are clearly unwilling to let him go for anything less than a significant profit margin.
