December 30-AC Milan were close to signing Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez this summer, but the player finally joined Benfica, and Martin Guastadisegno, who was in charge of Enzo’s transfer, revealed details in an exclusive interview with TMW.
Benfica signed Enzo from Riverbed for about 16 million euros a few months ago, and now the Argentine midfielder’s value has soared to 120 million euros, a price that is out of reach for any Italian team. however, Enzo was very close to landing in Serie A this summer.
Martin Guastadisegno, who specializes in the transfer negotiations between Enzo and the Italian club, confirmed in an interview:
“Enzo wanted to play in Italy and I would love to bring him here. We studied it for a long time, but in the end Benfica acted decisively and negotiated a transfer with Riverbed in mid-July.”
“our contact with AC Milan began in March this year. In May, Milan’s chief scout Geoffrey Moncada came to Argentina to watch Enzo’s game and talked to the players. Enzo agreed to join at that time. He wanted to come to Italy and he agreed to move to AC Milan immediately.”
“Fiorentina also took some specific actions at that time, but neither Fiorentina nor AC Milan made any offer and Enzo went to Portugal in the end. But I believe that if Benfica hesitates again, the Italian team will make an offer, especially Milan, they have shown great interest, but they may need more time to make a specific offer, it was really very close at that time, what a pity. ”
