A new star on the world soccer stage, Argentine midfielder Ansel Fernandez, has become famous with his outstanding performance, not only winning the World Cup trophy, but also winning the best young player award. However, the transfer path of this young talent is quite twisted. Premier League giants Chelsea were keen on him, but negotiations stalled due to Benfica's firm refusal to release him. Rumor has it that Ansel Fernandes left the club to go back to Argentina to celebrate the festive season after arguing over the transfer fee, a move that made Benfica very unhappy.
After the post-World Cup euphoria, Ansel Fernandes was rushed back to Portugal last week to prepare for the league match against Braga. However, he was "forced" to play in the match, which resulted in a 0-3 defeat for Benfica. What is even more unacceptable to the coach of Benfica, Roger Schmidt, is that after the match, Ansel Fernandes flew back to Argentina to be with his family, ignoring his coach's objections.
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the terms of the transfer between Ansel Fernandes and Chelsea have basically been finalized and are only waiting for a nod from Benfica. Despite the fact that Anseldinandis' contract contains a 120 million euro buyout clause, Chelsea are still trying to complete the deal at a lower price. This series of behaviors of Ansel Fernandez is undoubtedly to Binfiga pressure, trying to accelerate the transfer process.
