Benfica boss Roger Schmidt criticized Chelsea’s behavior in their bid to sign Fernandez earlier this month, saying: “There are clubs that want him, they are trying to attract him. But they know they can have him if they pay the price.

“It’s disrespectful to all of us against Benfica, they’re driving the players crazy, they’re pretending they want to pay the sentence and then they want to negotiate.”

With question marks over the long-term futures of Jorginho and N’Golo Kante – whose contracts expire at the end of the season – Chelsea are looking to sign at least one midfielder.
