Manchester United are reportedly the front-runners to sign Enzo Fernandez, a target for Liverpool and Real Madrid.
According to Argentine journalist Gaston Edul, Manchester United are currently leading the chase for Enzo Fernandez. The 21-year-old Benfica midfielder is on the radars of Liverpool and Real Madrid as well.
Enzo Fernandez has been linked with a move away from Benfica ahead of the January transfer window. And it seems that his suitors will have to trigger his release clause in order to sign him next month. Recent reports have claimed that Manchester United and Liverpool are prepared to do so.
Benfica will want to hold on to the player until the end of the season. But they will be powerless to stop him from leaving if somebody decides to trigger his exit clause. Fernandez has a release clause of around €120 million. So Manchester United will have to break their club transfer record in order to sign the player.
The Red Devils need to improve their midfield in the coming months, and Enzo Fernandez would be a quality addition. The 21-year-old could form an impressive partnership alongside Brazilian international Casemiro. And according to Gaston Edul, Manchester United are ahead of Liverpool and Real Madrid in the race to sign the youngster.
The all-action central midfielder impressed with his performances in the World Cup, and he was a key player for Argentina as they lifted the coveted trophy. Fernandez has the potential to develop into a world-class footballer, and moving to Manchester United could help him accelerate his development.
Erik ten Hag has done well to improve young players throughout his managerial career and could also help the Argentine international develop. There is no doubt that Fernandez is a prodigious young talent with a big future ahead of him. However, the €120 million asking price remains a concern.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are keen on signing the player well, and it is hardly a surprise. Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be free agents at the end of the season, and Jurgen Klopp will need to replace them adequately.
As far as Real Madrid are concerned, they will need to sign a central midfielder as the long-term replacement for Luka Modric. And the Argentine international would be a shrewd acquisition. All three clubs would represent an outstanding opportunity for the player and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
