Benfica insists they want to keep World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez until the end of the season amidst interest from Chelsea in the Argentinian.
The 21-year-old was the best young player at the World Cup as he inspired his nation to end their long wait to win the World Cup in Qatar.
The midfielder has now caught the attention of several clubs around the world, including the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea in England, who hope to close the deal next month.
However, Benfica wants him to stay until the end of the season unless a club triggers his release clause worth around £106m.
That fee is a lot to pay in January and a report on Matchplug reveals they have proposed a new deal to him to keep him with them. The club statement reads:
‘We insist our intention is to keep Enzo here until the end of the season’.
