Enzo Fernandez wants to leave Benfice this January. After his stellar World Cup, Chelsea are following him closely, and the Argentine footballer does not want to play for the Portuguese side again as an act of rebellion.

Enzo Fernandez is willing to carry out an act of rebellion in order to force his way out of Benfica. That is what 'O Jogo' claimed, after the Argentine left to go home without permission to celebrate the New Year.

It is expected that the Portuguese side will punish the midfielder in some way for leaving, as it was not approved. That is where the problems may start in the next few days.

Enzo knows that he had a great World Cup, which saw him claim the award for the best young player of the competition, therefore opening the doors of the biggest European clubs.

Therefore, according to 'O Jogo', he is refusing to play again for Benfica in order to force a possible agreement between the Lisbon side and his future club, which could be Chelsea.

Benfica have asked for €125 million to let the player go, even though he arrived for just €10 million, but the London side are not willing to pay that much.
