Chelsea want a higher price than £120m for Enzo Fernandez amid Manchester City's ongoing interest in the midfielder.
Chelsea had long been open to business for a £120m fee for the Argentina international in what was already a complicated saga, but it is understood that no longer applies, partly due to how summer market valuations have risen.
One of the higher prices was the £116m fee City themselves paid to Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson this summer, and it now appears they would have to greatly increase on that club record to secure Fernandez.

Chelsea would also want to make sure they are able to secure a replacement. There remains a great deal of sensitivity and tension around the Fernandez situation, particularly with how former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca sees him as a key signing for his new club at City.
