Despite interest from Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid, Argentina’s World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez is prioritizing a move to Premier League juggernaut Liverpool, according to O Jogo
Benfica took a chance and achieved something that no one else could have done six months ago. They used the £18 million release clause in Enzo Fernandez’s River Plate contract to their advantage.
Even the most enthusiastic Benfica supporter could not have predicted how far Enzo would progress in such a short period of time.
The 21-year-old playmaker smiled for images on Sunday night at Qatar’s Lusail Stadium while carrying a World Cup winner’s medal around his neck, the Young Player of the Tournament award in one hand, and the Jules Rimet in the other.
Meanwhile, his asking price has risen from £18 million to about £100 million, with the Portuguese giants unwilling to let Enzo depart for anything less than his exorbitant release clause.
LIVERPOOL LEAD THE CHASE TO SIGN ARGENTINA’S WORLD CUP WINNER ENZO FERNANDEZ.
According to La Capital, the Merseyside giants have already agreed to terms with Enzo’s club. O Jogo has now presented evidence to support his claim. Liverpool will also match any bid made by rival suitors, who include Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester United.
Liverpool appears to be given ‘priority’ by Enzo.
Enzo has made it clear that he wants to become the most expensive signing in the history of one of Europe’s most illustrious football clubs. And, as his outstanding performances in the Qatar World Cup revealed, he is not a man who gives in under pressure.
Liverpool has a good working relationship with Benfica as well. They agreed to a £64 million deal for Darwin Nunez last August.
“He has a bright future,” Argentina captain Lionel Messi said of Fernandez, who kicked off Sunday’s final victory over France. “Enzo is an exceptional genius.” He exudes charisma and makes amazing passes. Spectacular.”
His playing talent is absolutely incredible. “At only 21 years old,” recalls former Real Madrid coach Jose Peseiro.
“The best player with whom I worked at Real Madrid was Zinedine Zidane.” Of course, I don’t want to draw parallels. But I’m speaking to Enzo’s brief and spectacular vision, which reminds me of Zidane.
“What exactly is Enzo’s age?” Is he 21?”That’s either a lie or a stroke of genius!”
