Benfica is not in any mood or not under any obligation to sell Fernandez and the club clearly stated that Benfica will not settle for any value under €120million release clause. Benfica’s manager thinks he finds it disrespectful regarding Chealsea’s position towards Enzo Fernández as the contract is now on hold.

Benfica’s Manager Schmidt said

“Enzo, we don’t want to sell him, nobody wants to sell him at this club,” “Everybody knows he has a clause in his contract, and, of course, if the player wants to leave and somebody comes and pays the clause we cannot work against that and so then maybe we will lose the player.”

“There’s a club who want 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 only can get this player when they pay the clause so it’s a very clear situation.”

“They try to get the player on their side. It’s disrespectful against all of us, against Benfica and I cannot accept what they are doing.”

Is Enzo Fernandez worth the Transfer Fee?

Enzo Fernandez hasn’t got enough caliber and time to prove his true worth, therefore there’s a very small sample size to compare him with others, to predict, and to find out his strengths & weaknesses.

But now he wants to leave his current club Atletico Madrid after losing his patience with the manager Diego Simeone. He has played only 29 minutes in their last four games. Simeone recently prefers Griezmann, Morata, Cunha, and Angel Correa in the attack.

Felix’s Stat

However, during the 2021-2022 season, Felix scored 10 goals in 35 games. He has scored 29 goals and 18 assists in 122 games, which is really underwhelming. Atletico paid a huge amount to sign him from Benfica in 2019 and his contract runs until 2026. It will likely require a substantial fee to sign him from Atletico.
