[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Chelsea are holding firm to their £120 million asking price for Enzo Fernández. The midfielder’s World Cup displays have once again proven his worth. Xabi Alonso, the Blues’ new head coach, hopes to keep hold of the Argentine international yet understands the club’s valuation of the player. Enzo’s World Cup exploits have further cemented his reputation as a big-game player. His vital equaliser against England in the 85th minute of the semi-final lends far more credibility to Chelsea’s £120 million valuation. The 25-year-old Enzo registered decisive goals in numerous crunch fixtures last term: the solitary winner in the FA Cup semi-final against Leeds United, the away equaliser versus Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last 16, plus vital strikes in league matches against Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, West Ham United, Bournemouth and Manchester City. In the previous campaign, he scored the leveller in the Europa Conference League final against Real Betis. At this World Cup, Enzo struck a stoppage-time winner over Egypt in the last 16 before bagging that crucial 85th-minute equaliser in the semi-final. Since the start of 2026, he has netted five goals arriving after the 85-minute mark.
Enzo Fernández’s contract situation remains unresolved. His representatives opened extension talks with Chelsea six months ago, yet no agreement has been reached, and negotiations have been put on hold pending a resumption this summer. Chelsea have stuck rigidly to their £120 million transfer valuation set back in May and refused to budge an inch. The club has not received any formal approaches from other sides so far, and it is understood Chelsea will only sanction a sale if a satisfactory offer lands on the table.
