The Premier League’s Top-Earning Players Unveiled – New Signing Among the Top
Transfer deadline day witnessed Chelsea’s dramatic acquisition of Enzo Fernandez.
The Blues have essentially spent the entire month of January pursuing the Argentine’s signature.
Benfica repeatedly rejected Chelsea’s overtures, making it appear unlikely that a transfer would occur.
But Chelsea was determined to get their man, and they were successful.
In the final moments of the transfer window, the 22-year-old completed a deal worth over £105 million.
He has surpassed Jack Grealish as the most expensive Premier League player in history.
Fernandez has signed a massive £315,000-per-week, 8.5-year contract with Chelsea, according to Capology.
That translates to a staggering £139 million over the course of his contract.
