Signed in 161.8 billion won on the last day of the transfer market
EPL record breaking amount, the biggest hand ever
‘490 billion’ to bring 8 people this winter
The team that heated up the European football winter transfer market the most was Chelsea (England). On the last day of the transfer market, his momentum rose with a stormy recruitment, such as making a ‘big deal’, but on the contrary, it also caused a skit where a player failed to transfer due to lack of documentation.
Reuters reported on the 1st that Chelsea have managed to sign Argentine midfielder Enso Fernandez (22, Benfica, photo). According to Reuters, Benfica said in a club statement that it had agreed with Chelsea to sell all rights to Fernandes for 121 million euros (about 161.8 billion won). This is the highest ever transfer fee in the English Premier League (EPL), surpassing the £100 million (about 151.6 billion won) that occurred when Jack Grealish transferred to Manchester City in 2021.
Fernandez, who played in the Argentinian league and transferred to Benfica for about 10 million pounds (about 15.1 billion won) in August last year, played in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and his ransom increased. Fernandez took charge of Argentina’s midfield and contributed to Argentina’s first championship in 36 years, and emerged as divine by winning the Young Player Award.
The discussions were dramatic. After continuing tug-of-war negotiations with Benfica, a dramatic deal was reached around 11:00pm on the 31st of last month, one hour after the end of the transfer market in UK local time.
By signing Fernandes, Chelsea became the best ‘big hand’ in this transfer market. According to British Sky Sports, Chelsea spent a whopping £323.3 million (about 490 billion won) by signing eight players in the transfer market this winter.
