The Argentine World Cup winner has only gone from strength to strength since joining the Premier League giants back in 2023. He has been one of their standout performers in recent seasons, and it has put him on the wishlist of Real Madrid. According to a report from Fichajes, Chelsea are ready to negotiate the departure of Fernandez, but they want at least 120 million to let go of one of their mainstays.

Chelsea reportedly feel they have a potential 200m talent on their hands in the form of Brazilian winger Estevao Willian. The exciting wonderkid joined the Blues this summer from Palmeiras, and it's already easy to see why he's been so highly regarded for some time now. Chelsea will no doubt hope he can continue to develop into one of the very finest players in world football, and that might present an opportunity to cash in on him for a huge profit.

He is one of the stars that they could not let go. They had already let a couple go, and I think he had to be there. I do not think 40m is the right price for him at the moment, for a goal scorer. He is probably worth a little bit more than that, but he is one they could not let go, so I was not surprised to see them stick their feet in on that one.

What must a footballer who costs 80m, 100m or more be able to do and prove? He should be a promising prospect at the age of 17 to 20; occupy a clear position on the pitch; be one of the five most important players in a team; perform consistently over many years; prove himself in international competition; and be physically strong. This applies to virtually all those players in this price range: Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Ronaldo, Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham and Ousmane Dembele.

Former Germany international Helmes delivered a stinging assessment of the transfer: "Brutal figures," Helmes told Sport.de. "€16.5 million is incredible for a loan deal. Add to that the €65 million if he makes certain appearances. In total, we're looking at the [Nick] Woltemade deal. That's completely overpriced. He's no Harry Kane." While acknowledging Jackson's flashes of quality in the Premier League, Helmes was clear: "For me, he's still just a backup for Kane, nothing more, nothing less."
