They steal his dream, reveals why Benfica refused to let Enzo Fernandez sign for Liverpool

You'd have to be a bit crazy to turn down 100 million euros, but that's the luxury Benfica have given themselves with Enzo Fernandez, recent World Cup winner with Argentina and voted Best Young Player of the tournament. Despite the money cannons that have already reached the Portuguese board, it has been revealed that they want more money.

Scorer of a great goal against Mexico in the group stage of Qatar 2022, Enzo is on the radar of the most powerful teams in the world, so Benfica did not accept 100 million because they consider that the River Plate player is worth more and they stick to the clause in his contract.

The Reds have had a disappointing season in the Premier League at the moment, placed sixth, 15 points behind leaders Arsenal, so it seems almost impossible for them to fight for the local title, having to focus on the Champions League, although Enzo could not play it because he already did it with Benfica this season.

Benfica coach Roger Schmidt revealed the reasons for denying the sale of Enzo Fernandez: "I'm glad this question is closed and now we can focus on football again. It was very important for Enzo to return to play with his team and for Benfica. Rumours of proposals and opportunities, that's part of football".

<strong>He is an important player</strong>

"The important thing is how the player and the club deal with the situation. It was all very open and sincere. I never had any doubts about his character, personality and attitude. An extraordinary player who loves to play football and for Benfica."
