Enzo Fernandez can add value to Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

Enzo Fernandez is Liverpool’s primary target for 2023 and they are keen to sign him in winter transfer window. Now, there is a new update in the story.

Benfica manager Roger Schmidt has confirmed what teams must do if they want to sign Enzo Fernandez. Liverpool has to meet Benfica’s demand if they want to get him on board.

Liverpool will also face the task with rival clubs Manchester United and Chelsea. They all have been in pursuit of the Argentine following his excellent performances at the World Cup. He was named Young Player of the Tournament.

Chelsea came close to overseeing a transfer for the Argentine, before the deal collapsed at the final stages due to Chelsea not meeting the player’s release clause. ‘

Fabrizio Romano shared a press conference of Schmidt reiterating his club’s stance amid constant speculation regarding Fernandez’s future. He said: “There is a club who wants our player. They know we don’t want to sell the player. They tried to get the player on their side, and they know that they can only get this player when they pay the clause.

“It’s a very clear situation. What the club is doing, who wants to buy Enzo, is disrespectful against all of us, against Benfica. And I cannot accept what they are doing.

“To make the player crazy, then to pretend they can pay the clause, then later they want to negotiate, is not what I understand to be a good relationship between clubs who want to discuss about the player.”

Liverpool require a player like him as they currently rely on injury-prone players or youngsters with little experience. The 21-year-old can add value to Jurgen Klopp’s squad.
