Benfica won't let him, Enzo Fernandez to join Liverpool

The transfer market continues at full steam in Europe, and more so in the Premier League, where the Reds recently unveiled their new signing, Dutch gem Cody Gakpo, for whom German manager Jürgen Klopp is already looking for a partner on the pitch, with attack being one of the priorities for the second half of the season. Enzo Fernandez could be the man to help the team to climb up the table.

Since winning the World Cup with Argentina at the last World Cup in Qatar, Enzo has been in the spotlight of different top teams in the world, who are looking to sign the 21-year-old midfielder, who for now is still in the ranks of SL Benfica, a team that has put endless obstacles for him not to leave the Portuguese institution. And according to reports from AS of Spain, the Reds have already made a millionaire offer for the Argentine.

There are severe issues with the club's midfield at Anfield, things are not going well

According to the Spanish newspaper, the first contact that The Pool had was in the middle of the World Cup in Qatar when the Premier League giant would have put on the table 100 million euros, an amount that the Eagles of Benfica would discard, saying that this was not enough. Benfica president Rui Costa told the Lusitanian media that Fernandez will only leave under the execution of the termination clause of around 120 million euros, plus variables.

Meanwhile Enzo, who recently reported for Benfica, having played 88 minutes in the 3-0 defeat to Braga in the 14th round of the Portuguese League, was ruled out of the game against Portimonense and will also miss the game against Varzim, who will be the Eagles' opponents in next week's Taca de Portugal 1/8 Final. Fernandez will take the next few days to talk to his agent about his future, looking for the best option.

On the other hand, the Reds, having the long and perhaps a no from Jude Bellingham, could focus their energies on making a move for Enzo Fernandez, who has already had the approval of the Anfield fans, who would enjoy once again taking a signing away from Chelsea and Manchester City, clubs that according to the English press are in the final bidding for the player born in San Martin, province of Buenos Aires.
