The club appeared to be closing in on his signature after various reports stated that they had entered negotiations with Benfica over the player's services with Fernandez even agreeing personal terms. However, discussions have since collapsed with two sides unable to settle on a price or payment plan.
Manchester United and Liverpool had also been linked with the former River Plate man but it was the west Londoners who appeared to have the strongest interest before talks stopped.
Fernandez's frustrations have sometimes come to the fore at Benfica, most notably when he was dropped from the squad for the match against Portimonense after returning to Argentina for New Year. However, he has since been welcomed back into the fold with a 'clean slate' and is expected to play in the club's upcoming matches.
It remains to be seen whether or not the midfielder will ever get the move to Stamford Bridge that he appears to crave but Chelsea are likely to have to offer more money for this to happen.
