'That's one HELL of a price!': Gary Neville blasts Chelsea's £112m move for Benfica star Enzo Fernandez - insisting the Argentina World Cup winner doesn't have the 'pedigree' to match his eye-watering fee

Gary Neville took to social media to cast doubt over Chelsea's £112million move for Benfica star Enzo Fernandez on Tuesday, insisting the fee is 'one hell of a price' for the World Cup winner.

The 21-year-old midfielder claimed Young Player of the Tournament in Qatar after helping Argentina and Lionel Messi to World Cup glory last month, piquing the interest of Todd Boehly and Graham Potter at Stamford Bridge.

Portuguese sources understand the Blues have since made a £112m offer for the Argentine youngster - a fee worth more than his £106m buyout clause - in an effort to pay the sum in three separate instalments of £37.
