Man Utd leading Liverpool and Madrid in race to sign Enzo Fernandez
Manchester United are ahead of Liverpool and Real Madrid in the race for Enzo Fernandez, according to Gaston Edul on TyC Sports.
It is said that the player’s agent has travelled to Portugal to discuss personal terms in case his release clause is triggered.
Fernandez was spectacular for Argentina at the 2022 World Cup. He played in all seven matches, contributing a goal and an assist, as his country won the coveted trophy in Qatar.
The midfielder also started 13 matches this season in the Primeira Liga for Benfica, netting a goal and contributing three assists.
His amazing performances have sparked attention from some of the biggest clubs in Europe, including Liverpool, Real Madrid and Chelsea.
Must Act quickly
Manchester United were heavily linked with a move for Cody Gakpo, with Erik ten Hag said to be a huge admirer of his countryman.
However, Liverpool stole a march on them and managed to agree a transfer fee between €40 and €50million for the highly talented forward.
That was a fee that United wouldn’t have any problem paying for Gakpo. However, they were outpaced by their rivals.
Now Enzo Fernandez is another player on the radar of the Merseyside giants. Therefore, the Red Devils must act quickly to secure a deal for the Argentina international.
Fernandez plays as a central midfielder who is highly rated for his passing, tackling and key passes.
The 21-year-old averaged an incredible 3.1 tackles and 1.0 clearances per game in the World Cup. He also boasted over 87 percent passing accuracy and 2.3 long balls (as per Whoscored).
