He played an excellent World Cup, became world champion with Argentina and his price increased fivefold. Enzo Fernandez became one of the most desirable players on the football market. But the Eagles are not so greedy – they won’t rush to grab the first bag of money that falls before them. They don’t want to disband a team that played an almost perfect group stage of the Champions League and aimed for the very end of the elite competition. That’s why the club, according to the claims of the Portuguese Record, rejected several lucrative offers, and one mysterious buyer came out with around 100,000,000 euros! And not only was the 100 million rejected – it was done with no hesitation.##NAJAVA_MECA_6904952##It would be the second biggest transfer in the club’s history from Estadio da Luz – Joao Felix left for Atlético Madrid in 2019 for €127,000,000 – but we probably won’t see that transfer before the summer, not even at that price. In fact, club president Manuel Rui Costa does not want to release the Argentine for less than 120,000,000 euros, which is the amount of his buyout clause.Benfica showed for the umpteenth time that few can match them in turning talents into finished products, and monetizing them through fabulous compensations. Unlike AC Milan, Benfica felt this summer that Enzo could be a real hit, and with 12,000,000 + 8,000,000 euros, they convinced River to send him to Lisbon. And there, he didn’t even need the adaptation period – he immediately started to dominate the midfield.🗞️ Según Record de Portugal, Benfica rechazó una oferta de ¡100 millones de euros! por Enzo Fernández pic.twitter.com/WemxlmqG9w— El Gráfico (@elgraficoweb) December 22, 2022 Fernandez’s performances did not go unnoticed even by national team coach Lionel Scaloni, who took him to Qatar. Not that he didn’t regret it, but in the maneuver he received the revelation of the World Cup and officially the best young player of the planetary championship. Liverpool, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United immediately began to ask about the Argentinian…But Benfica’s first thought is of the Champions League, where in the spring the round of 16 against Club Brugge awaits them, and in the summer they could earn quite a lot, because in addition to Enzo, the promising goalscorer Goncalo Ramos also exploded in Qatar.
