There is no doubt that Enzo Fernandes has become one of the biggest talents in the Champions League. The Argentine midfielder impressed his performance as a midfielder, and in Portugal they confirmed that bidding for his signature had already begun.
Record has confirmed that Manchester United want him in January and that Barcelona are interested in him as a possible successor to Busquets. Everything indicates that the Argentine will come to a high price because there are not many players of his type.
Sport newspaper already revealed a few weeks ago that Barcelona’s technical area was closely following the developments of Enzo Fernandes at Benfica. They have watched it for several matches and there is no doubt about its quality.
Enzo is used to playing as a double pivot with the help of a more physical midfielder and in Barcelona he should only form as a defensive midfielder. It is also true that in Argentina he took advantage of this pivotal position with a good performance.
FC Barcelona was already interested in him when he belonged to River Plate. Ramon Blanes, the former technical secretary of the Blaugrana, spoke with his agents but Barcelona did not have the financial capacity at the time. Months later, Benfica signed him for around €12m, buying 80 per cent of his rights. And in Portugal he became a star.
Barcelona are not ready to make an offer and Manchester United appear willing to offer just over €60m for the player. Liverpool are also on the lookout, although they haven’t made a move.
