Long before the start of the 2022 World Cup, Benfica was already rubbing its hands for having been able to attract Enzo Fernandez into its nets. At 21, the midfielder discovered European football after appearing in the River Plate jersey. And in barely half a season with the Aguias, he has put several suitors at his feet.
Lately, his future seemed to be mapped out. Recruited for € 18 million, bonus included, the Argentinian was announced very close to Liverpool. Declared courtiers, the Reds have been looking for a midfielder for months and would be willing to enlist him in place of the much sought-after Jude Bellingham. Since then, Enzo Fernandez has won the World Cup and even won the title of best young player of the tournament.
Paris joins the long list of suitors
What to increase its rating, even if Benfica does not envisage a sale before the end of the season, in particular not to spoil the designs of Roger Schmidt in the Champions League. If a team wants it in January, it will therefore have to pay the 120 M€ of its release clause. In the meantime, the suitors’ ball continues according to Oh Jogo.
Real Madrid FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, Inter have all sounded out their agent. The Portuguese newspaper specifies that Paris Saint-Germain has also shown some interest. Will the Parisians take action? Will they use Lionel Messi to bait Benfiquista? Case to follow.
