The PA news agency reports that a 22-year-old underwent a medical in Lisbon on Tuesday evening. The medical was part of the ongoing negotiations between two clubs to finalize a transfer deal.

Despite making progress, the clubs are still divided over the payment terms of the transfer fee. The final agreement remains uncertain, with the deal coming down to the wire as both clubs work to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

It is unclear who the player is or which clubs are involved, but it is a testament to the importance of transfer fee negotiations in the world of professional soccer.

A statement on the club’s website has been issued, “The Argentinian midfielder has completed his transfer from Benfica to Chelsea.”

Fernandez has become the 8th player to join the Blues during a hectic transfer window. The club’s owner, Todd Boehly, has spent approximately £318 million in total during the month of January. Fernandez, who received the Silver Ball award as the best young player during the World Cup in Qatar last year, has signed an 8 and a half year contract with the club.

This is in line with the club’s strategy of signing players to long-term deals in order to distribute their expenses and comply with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations.

The latest signing brings the total spending of the Blues to over £550 million since Boehly took ownership of the club last May. According to PA, UEFA plans to close a loophole that has allowed such a high level of spending by restricting contract lengths to five years.

Fernandez’s rise to fame has been nothing short of phenomenal. He joined Benfica from River Plate in Argentina just 7 months ago for a transfer fee of £8.8 million.

However, after making a strong start to the season in Portugal’s Primeira Liga, his value skyrocketed. This resulted in him commanding a British transfer record fee after just playing 29 games for Benfica.

Fernandez gained international recognition as he helped Argentina win the World Cup for the third time.

Despite starting as a substitute, he broke into the starting lineup after scoring against Mexico and went on to start every subsequent match, including the final against France. He made his senior international debut just last September.

Chelsea initially attempted to negotiate with Benfica earlier in January, but the deal fell through. However, they were reportedly encouraged to make a new offer after it was announced that UEFA plans to impose maximum contract terms starting with the next transfer window.

Currently, transfer fees can be spread over the length of the player’s contract, allowing clubs to negotiate higher fees. The introduction of five-year maximum terms will limit the amount that can be spent, as transfer fees will have to be recorded over a shorter period.

During Boehly’s ownership of the club, they have taken full advantage of the loophole by spending heavily in both the summer and the January transfer window.

In January, the club spent large sums on several players including Benoit Badiashile, a defender who signed from Monaco for a reported £35 million, Noni Madueke, an England Under-21 international who joined from PSV Eindhoven for £29 million, and Mykhailo Mudryk, a Ukrainian winger who was acquired from Arsenal for £88 million.

The club also signed Joao Felix, a Portuguese international, on loan from Atletico Madrid, and French right-back Malo Gusto, who joined from Lyon and was loaned back to the Ligue 1 side for the rest of the season.

Additionally, David Fofana from Molde and Andrey Santos from Vasco de Gama were also acquired during this ambitious transfer window.
