Enzo Fernández, the Argentine national team midfielder, was one of the revelation players of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. He earned a starting spot in the 'Albiceleste' and became a crucial player for his team, helping them win their third World Cup.
Due to his great performances, Enzo caught the attention of important European clubs that inquired about his contractual situation with Benfica from Portugal. He signed a contract with Benfica until June 2027, so the only way for him to leave is by paying the release clause.
What is Enzo Fernández's release clause at Benfica?
The stipulated amount is 120 million euros, which any club interested in immediately having the services of the Argentine midfielder will have to pay.
Now, according to César Luis Merlo, Chelsea is willing to offer 127 million euros, which is more than the requested amount. Additionally, Fabrizio Romano confirms that Enzo Fernández has given his "yes" to the operation, as he sees joining the Premier League with good eyes.
