Enzo Fernández was presented as a new reinforcement of Benfica

Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez was unveiled today as a new reinforcement for Benfica of Portugal. The 21-year-old signed a contract until mid-2027 with the institution and will have a termination clause of 120 million euros. I am very happy to be here! Benfica was always the first choice among many I had. I arrive at a club full of history and prestige, so I will prepare in the best way to win many things together. To be champion and win a lot of things at Benfica is a goal I have,” Fernandez said in an interview with the club’s official media.

When asked about the advice given to him by Enzo Pérez and Javier Saviola, former players of the Portuguese cast, the midfielder said: “Advice from Enzo Pérez and Saviola? I’ve been told that Benfica is a very big club, with a lot of history and for me to take the opportunity to evolve and learn, because it’s an institution with a lot of ambition.” It is worth mentioning that the Lisbon cast paid River Plate about 18 million euros (10 fixed and 8 variable by objectives) for 75% of the player’s pass. In this way, the “Millionaire” will keep a percentage of the player’s token that could serve him in case of a future sale. As for his career, Fernandez debuted in the cast of Nunez in 2020, but didn’t get minutes. For this reason, he was loaned to Defensa y Justicia where he was a vital part of obtaining the Copa Sudamericana 2020 and the Recopa Sudamericana 2021.After a good season in the cast of Florencio Varela, River decided to interrupt the loan and add him back to the squad in the middle of last year. In fact, he was a key player in obtaining the Professional League.
