It’s possible that Manchester United has lost the fight to sign Cody Gakpo. Can they sign Enzo Fernandez before the Merseysiders do? We’ll see.
According to the press photograph below from yesterday’s edition of O Jogo, Man Utd and Liverpool have stepped up their negotiations to finalize the purchase of the Argentine international in January.
Star offered to Manchester United for £62 million – Report
The news source said that it is more likely that Enzo, who just got back after serving abroad, will shortly quit Benfica.
Man Utd has made strides in recent days to persuade Benfica to accept their offer and to reach an agreement on terms with the South American midfielder.
The Eagles have made it plain that they would only agree to a fee that is equal to the player’s £106 million release clause.
However, Fernandez claims that his agent should deal with the interested parties and is not concentrating on the articles.
Enzo personally assisted in two of Argentina’s goals during their World Cup-winning campaign. He earned the Young Player of the Tournament and appeared in every game.
According to O Jogo, Benfica recently rejected a proposal of 100 million euros to keep the 21-year-old, and Manchester United is willing to increase the stakes “even higher” to recruit him.
