      by

      Only Benfica have shown some resistance from Todd Boehly’s spending power as they cling on to Fernandez.
      The midfielder has been heavily linked to the London club ever since his outstanding World Cup with Argentina.
      After Benfica successfully rebuffed Chelsea’s initial attempts to sign him, it now appears they have another battle on their hands.
      The Record newspaper in Portugal report on their front page that Chelsea are preparing to launch a 100m euros – or £88m – bid for the star.

      The 22-year-old has a release clause of £106m in his contract.
      If the fee was met, Benfica would be forced to accept Chelsea’s offer.

      But so far the Blues have appeared unwilling to go that high despite being keen on midfield reinforcements.
      Record claim the club are preparing to offer £88m along with some of their own players in a swap to sweeten the deal.

      Garnacho is currently believed to be on around £7,000 per week.
      That makes him the second lowest paid senior player at the club with only Anthony Elanga below him on £5,500-a-week.

      They let him join United for £420,000 fee in 2020 and he has since risen through the ranks into Erik ten Hag’s first-team squad. More

      Manchester United star Casemiro is actually called Carlos Henrique CasimiroCredit: Getty
      But very few are aware that the midfielder’s name is in fact NOT Casemiro.
      It’s actually, Carlos Henrique Casimiro but the 30-year-old has been going by a modified version of his surname.
      The Brazilian has previously addressed that issue and explained why his name is misspelled.
      It all started during his youth years in Brazil when he played a fantastic game for Sao Paulo and people kept mispronouncing him.

      Casemiro said: “Very few people know my name is Casimiro, because my mother’s surname is spelt with an ‘i’, not an ‘e’: Casimiro.
      “When I played in Brazil, there was a game in Sao Paulo when people incorrectly named me Casemiro.
      “I played very well that game and I decided that people should keep calling me Casemiro, with the ‘e’. It has not changed since.”
      Casemiro joined United last summer following a £70million deal with Real.
