The novel about the European transfer market reached its dramatic finale as Enzo Fernández officially joined Chelsea, marking a high-profile move that excites fans across the continent.
Finally, the paths of Enzo Fernández and Chelsea have converged. The English giants have reached an agreement with the Eagles’ leadership, sealing the world champion’s switch to the blue side of London. This development is celebrated by supporters and stakeholding clubs alike, with Rivers also benefiting through a set percentage saved for a future deal.
Enzo’s career arc reads like a well-crafted narrative. He surprised at first with Defensa y Justicia, then progressed to grow into one of Argentina’s standout talents. His performances earned him a transfer to Benfica, where he helped Argentina lift a world title and began a global ascent. Now a fresh challenge awaits in the Premier League.

JERSEY NUMBER CONSIDERATIONS

Throughout a relatively concise yet successful career, Enzo has worn several numbers: 13 at River Plate and Benfica, 24 with the Argentine national team, and 8 during his time with Defensa y Justicia. With his arrival at Chelsea, those numbers are claimed by teammates. Following Jorginho’s departure to Arsenal, a special number began to circulate with renewed interest: 5. It is a number that carried him during much of his development at River and perhaps the one he might adopt in London.
