According to the latest reports from Portuguese media reporters Nuno Martins and Rafael Soares, if Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez does not leave in January, Benfica will give the midfielder a bonus to reward his loyalty to the club.
The record newspaper also revealed that the executive committee led by Rui Costa was even willing to give Enzo a raise to meet his demands at the economic level.
As the record newspaper reported yesterday, Chelsea have made an offer to Benfica worth 130 million euros, which is higher than the value of the termination terms (120 million euros). Enzo and 19-year-old England midfielder Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund are among the names that have rocked the transfer market, which is why clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool or Real Madrid are also chasing the world champion.
The youngster has become a target for European sharks, but his contract expires in 2027. The president of Benfica is trying to persuade the midfielder not to leave when the transfer market reopens in January, while also trying to make him understand that he can calmly choose a better club in the summer.
Given the astronomical figures on the table, Enzo is actually well aware of the situation. The player refused to clash with Benfica, who opened the door to Europe and everyone around him knew that the best thing was to stay, win the Portuguese title and continue to show himself in the Champions League.
Enzo and his official agent Uriel P é rez (Mendes is just a broker) have returned to Lisbon to think about the further future, but one thing is certain that Enzo will play in the next game against Braga.
