Carlo Ancelotti astonished with Enzo Fernandez of Liverpool. Enzo Fernandez, a midfielder for Benfica and a target for Liverpool, is said to be a favorite of Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti. Because of his quick ascent in status at the club and national levels, 21-year-old Fernandez has become one of the most exciting players in the world. He joined Benfica earlier this summer after moving from River Plate for €10 million, and in 24 appearances he has three goals and five assists.
Fernandez, a right-footed box-to-box player, attracted attention with his outstanding displays for Argentina at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. In seven appearances, he registered one goal and one assist, winning Young Player of the Tournament in the process. Ancelotti, who is a major supporter of Fernandez, was impressed with his first FIFA World Cup campaign, according to Diario AS. Given that Real Madrid is still looking for a starting midfielder for the Santiago Bernabeu club, the Real Madrid manager made the most mention of him during his analysis of the tournament.
In the near future, Real Madrid is hoping to entice Fernandez away from Benfica to take Luka Modric’s place. However, it’s anticipated that the Primeira Liga team will want a transfer fee of about €120 million for the Argentine. With the addition of Fernandez, Liverpool is attempting to complete a midfield makeover. According to O Jogo, the athlete has a pre-agreement with the Reds and is eager to transfer to Anfield in the future.
The battle to get Jude Bellingham, a midfielder for Borussia Dortmund who is said to be worth around €150 million, will also pit the two interested parties against one another. Manchester City is also after him. James Milner, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain, and Naby Keita will all leave Liverpool on free transfers in the summer of 2023. The team is presently keeping an eye on players like Sofyan Amrabat, Declan Rice, Moises Caicedo, Mohammed Kudus, and Sander Berge as potential replacements.
