Named best young player of the 2022 World Cup, Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez is attracting the interest of several European leaders. Even before the opening of the winter transfer window, the Portuguese club have already received two incredible offers for the Argentinian international.
Enzo Fernandez, the big transfer of the winter?
Enzo Fernandez burst onto the screen during the 2022 World Cup. Already considered a great talent, the Benfica Lisbon midfielder was one of the architects of Argentina’s coronation and was named the best young player in the competition.
Tracked by several European cadors like Liverpool, Chelsea or even Paris Saint-Germain, the Argentinian international risks representing one of the soap operas to follow in this winter transfer window.
Already two offers 127 M€!
Indeed, according to information from the Portuguese media A Bola on Tuesday, the 21-year-old talent is already the subject of two XXL offers estimated at 127 million euros for January! Despite a release clause set at 120 million euros, the clubs in question, whose identities have not been disclosed, are ready to pay a few additional million in order to spread the payment of a possible transfer over time.
On this file, Fernandez’s agent, a certain Jorge Mendes, is working seriously to raise the bids and a third proposal is also expected very soon on the desk of the Lisbon president Rui Costa. The ex-playmaker is faced with a dilemma: he had promised the supporters that Fernandez would stay to ensure the competitiveness of the team unless a curia agreed to pay his release clause.
A dilemma for Benfica…
But without receiving 120 million euros all at once, Benfica can still make an incredible sale. Especially if Mendes manages to obtain even larger proposals… He will certainly have to accept a payment in installments, but it would still be an exceptional capital gain for an element recruited for 12 million euros last July. A huge financial blow in the space of a few months with Fernandez at the top of his game after his stunning World Cup.
