Benfica demand 120 million euros for Enzo Fernandez

As expected, his share increased tremendously after the evolution in Qatar, and “Real” and “Liverpool” began negotiations with “Benfica Lisbon” about the transfer of the 21-year-old midfielder, writes As.com.

Benfica paid €18m for 75% of the player’s rights to the River Plate move this summer, but are not considering an immediate move unless a €120m release clause is paid.

Liverpool were interested in Fernandes even before the start of the final tournament in Qatar, and it seemed that the footballer would arrive at Anfield this winter.

But after his performances and Argentina’s victory in the final, Real Madrid have already made an offer, but Benfica’s demands have also increased.

However, the situation could be different in the summer and the Lisbon club could negotiate a lower price than the Argentine midfielder’s release clause.

This season, Enzo Fernandez played in 13 matches for Benfica, scoring one goal. In the national team of Argentina, he has 10 tackles, in which he scored only once.
