According to the quoted source, the British will pay a record amount of 120 million euros, and Enzo Fernandez will become the most expensive player in the history of the English championship.

The record holder is Jack Grealish, whom Manchester City bought from Aston Villa for 117.5 million euros.

In the current season, Enzo Fernandez has 29 matches, 4 goals and 7 assists for the Lisbon “Benfica”.
