Premier League: Chelsea Strategizes Contract Extensions for Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk.

Chelsea has taken proactive steps to secure the futures of Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk, activating contract extensions that bind them to the club for a minimum of seven more years.

The acquisition of these two players by Stamford Bridge in January 2023 came with hefty transfer fees.

Mudryk's transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk saw a staggering £97 million change hands, with the Ukrainian signing a contract spanning over seven and a half years upon his arrival in west London.

Meanwhile, Fernandez made his move from Benfica for an equally substantial sum of £107 million, committing to an eight and a half year contract.

Most recently, both players had an additional year included in their existing contracts.

Mudryk's contract now runs until 2031, extending his tenure with Chelsea until he reaches 30, while Fernandez is locked in until 2032, seeing him through until he turns 31.

Last year, Lewis Hall, an academy graduate, had his contract extended, but this summer, he's poised to finalize his move to Newcastle on a permanent basis for a fee of £28 million.

The FA recently disclosed the contract details of all three players in their annual agent payments report.

Moreover, the report sheds light on Chelsea's spending, revealing a new record of £75.1 million on agent fees between February 2023 and 2024.

Manchester City and Manchester United also made significant payments, with expenditures of £60.6 million and £34 million respectively.
