The best young player of the last World Cup has already become the most expensive signing in Premier League history. A total of 121 million was paid for Enzo Fernandez by Chelsea, who offered a long contract that is already in the sights of FIFA and could intervene.
Amid intense negotiations, Chelsea reached an agreement with Benfica and the Portuguese club sold the world champion for 121 million euros. Subsequently, journalist Fabrizio Romano commented that the 2012 and 2021 Champions League winner signed a contract for eight seasons with Enzo until 2031.

In this context, FIFA could intervene for the duration of the contract between the Argentine national team and Chelsea. The rules of the international body establish that the duration of a contract between a player and a club can be a maximum of five years. The British team exceeded the three-year limit and there could be consequences for the future. According to ESPN, FIFA will modify these durations, but from the following season onwards, with no repercussions on the current season.
