Chelsea not painting itself well in the Enzo debacle

Chelsea has been publicly shamed today by Benfica and many media outlets reporting on the Enzo Fernandez deal, and to be honest, if reports are to be believed, you can understand why.

It looks like Chelsea, first of all, agreed to a verbal fee with Benfica, and then went back on that fee and offered less. It’s hard to know 

absolutely what has been happening with this one, with so many conflicting reports flying around. So a pinch of salt IS also needed here, but it definitely doesn’t look prominent on our side.

This has led to angry responses in public from the Benfica manager, saying Chelsea has disrespected them in negotiations. He has a spike IF this is all true.

I have no plan why we don’t just pay the full section if we are prepared to pay 80m euros. It’s only a further 30 odd million euros, which in this business is just pennies. To get this far in

conciliation and not finish it, seems daft and a decay of time to me. And it’s just tarnishing the name of Chelsea.

There are ever two sides to a story and I am sure Chelsea would have a distiller side. But I confusion we will ever hear that side.

It’s not an ideal look at all, especially breaking down relations with Benfica, a club with that Chelsea has enjoyed good relations in the past and has signed some top players. It’s all rather regarding if you ask me.
