Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid, in that particular order are the likeliest to sign Enzo Fernandez, claim Argentine outlet TyC Sports.
While many have seemingly backed Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti’s men to be natural favourites for Fernandez, a new update sides with Erik ten Hag’s side.
The Benfica midfielder has garnered a ton of attention ever since he started to set things alight at the World Cup.
Proceeding to lift both the FIFA Young Player award and the elusive trophy as well, Enzo Fernandez has gone on to become a household name.
So much so that Bola Na Rede in Portugal had even claimed that Liverpool had gone all out to secure the agreement for the Argentine already.
Furthermore, Fabrizio Romano (via YouTube) had also mentioned that Real Madrid were keen on the arrival of the 21-year-old.
UOL had even stated that Manchester United had hijacked Liverpool’s efforts to signing Enzo Fernandez.
It seems now that the Red Devils have surprisingly become the frontrunners to trigger the release clause worth £105 million (The Sun) in the starlet’s contract over both European giants.
Enzo Fernandez seems closest to join Manchester United over Liverpool and Real Madrid
However, TyC Sports have stated that the race for Enzo Fernandez currently stands as Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid, “in that order.”
While these claims align with Fabrizio Romano’s claims (via YouTube) that the World Cup winner is likely to play in the Premier League next, Man United seems to now be the likeliest destination for the in-demand star.
In our view: Fernandez should reject Premier League move to join Los Blancos
Ultimately, Real Madrid are in a far better position to challenge for trophies than both Man United and Liverpool, which should be the biggest draw for Enzo Fernandez.
And if Fernandez joins Los Blancos, the move for Jude Bellingham is a chapter that is likely to end.
Shoehorning into the side as a successor to the ageing Toni Kroos, the youngster would be a perfect fit in a team that won a double just last season.
It makes complete sense for Enzo Fernandez to join Real Madrid, instead of two work-in-progress sides like Liverpool and Manchester United.
