AC Milan rejected the chance to sign Enzo Fernandez for €12m only 18 months ago, it has been revealed.

Fernandez is a year into his €121m move from Benfica to Chelsea.

However, only months previous - April 2022 - Fernandez was offered to Milan for €12m, but the board deemed the price too steep, says TMW.

Instead, he remained with Benfica before eventually making a big money transfer to the Premier League.

Enzo turns 23 years of age today.
