Enzo Fernandez ‘only looking to rent in London for 12 months despite 8-year contract.. and Chelsea star has huge budget’
ENZO FERNANDEZ is reportedly looking to rent in London for 12 months despite signing an eight-year deal with Chelsea.
The Argentina international joined the Blues in a £115million deal from Portuguese outfit Benfica.
He made his debut for the club in the 0-0 draw against Fulham.
Fernandez is now looking to sort out his living arrangements for his time at Stamford Bridge.
However, he is only looking for a place in the capital for the next 12 months, according to the Daily Mail.
This is a surprise as he joined the club on a long-term deal.
However, the report suggests he has set aside an eye-watering budget of £2m for the year’s rent.
This means that he is prepared to make a monthly rent payment of up to £166,666.
It is said that one of his representatives has been in contact with an estate agency to find the right property for him.
Fernandez was a target for Chelsea following his impressive performances during the World Cup in Qatar as well as his showing for Benfica in the first half of the season.

He was awarded with the Golden Boy award as he helped Argentina to victory in the competition.
The signing took Chelsea’s January spend to £320m as co-owner Todd Boehly attempts to rebuild the side for manager Graham Potter.
