Schmidt accused Chelsea of being "disrespectful" in Fernandez's pursuit, saying, "I can't accept what they're doing."
Roger Schmidt, the manager of Benfica, has called Chelsea "disrespectful" for "pretending" to be able to meet Enzo Fernandez's release clause.
Graham Potter, the manager of Chelsea, has identified Fernandez as one of his top January targets, and Todd Boehly appears ready to make the transfer for the Argentina midfielder.
Despite claims that Chelsea made a proposal of €130 million, which would have exceeded the player's release clause, it is likely that Chelsea only made an offer of €85 million, which was turned down.
