Didn’t want Enzo anyway.
Apparently Newcastle aren’t going to spend to shortcut their way to the top, and their owners are intent on going about it the right way.

If anyone gets Enzo Fernandez now for €130m it is a staggering risk for a lad who has played about one third of a season in European Football.

How can he go for more than the clause? Benfica may prefer it but he can leave if someone offers it - that’s the contract.
Sports direct?

So Chelsea spending another 150m to bring in Badiashile and Enzo on top of the 200m they spent in the summer on players like Fofana and Cucurella.
Sounds to me like a desperate attempt to push on for 4th because the manager is well out his depth managing expectations…
Surely they’re not far off the billion spent with Utd and City?

If Fernandez is going for that much I’d be happy with us looking elsewhere anyway, particularly if we’re confident of landing Bellingham.
Caicedo and Kone could be bought for less than Fernandez. Loads of other options out there.

So much for Arteta overperforming I guess…?

Because clubs are unlikely to pay the full fee upfront which is what would be needed to activate the clause. Instead they may pay a little extra to compensate Benfica for paying it over a longer period.
Mike Ashley kept them so much cash strapped that they are actually good for splurging if they want to. Won’t be tingling FFP folks any time soon. I think with the kind of season they are having, Howe will have a strong argument to push for signings and fastrack their status as a champions league club. Once that happens thats two spots of top four fixed to oil clubs for the foreseeable future. Makes one feel glum.
Maybe they have increased the price of a Keffiyeh in the club sports shop :0)
NEW: Jude Bellingham has reportedly told his entourage of his desire to move to Real Madrid, with the Spanish club set to prioritise a deal for the midfielder in 2023. #lfc [goal]
Liverpool not ruling out further signings in the January transfer window but Enzo Fernandez won’t be one of them. Jude Bellingham their number one midfield target and unlikely to move before the summer.
