Shocking; Lionel Messi approves Enzo Fernandez transfer to Chelsea on Instagram

This is a thing we did not see coming and although they are teammates but it is coming as a surprise that Lionel Messi has endorsed Enzo Fernandez move to Chelsea.

The Argentine midfielder left SL Benfica to join the Blues on the final day of the January transfer window for a British-record fee of £106.8 million. He had joined the Eagles from River Plate for an initial fee of £8.8 million just last summer.

Fernandez’s move capped off a stupefying winter transfer window for Chelsea, where they spent £288 million on incomings. Jorginho’s deadline day move to Arsenal freed up space in the center of the park for the Blues, which Fernandez filled instantaneously.

Before his move to Stamford Bridge, he registered four goals and seven assists in 29 games across competitions for Benfica this term.
