Lisandro Martinez hailed Liverpool transfer target, Enzo Fernandez, on Instagram after he shone for Argentina alongside Lionel Messi at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Saturday.
The Manchester United defender told his countryman ‘do what you want’, after his stunning goal helped Argentina, who could have got knocked out of the 2022 World Cup with a defeat, to a valuable three points against Mexico.
None other than the little magician himself started off proceedings with a quite stunning precise finish on the edge of the area, before Fernandez came off the bench to curl in a stunning effort from inside the area.
It was a moment of magic from the 21-year-old midfielder, who Manchester United are ‘crazy’ about signing, alongside their Premier League rivals Liverpool.
Well, if they are keen on adding the rising Benfica star to their ranks in the near future, then that goal alone probably puts a few million on his price tag.
Either way, in the comments section of Fernandez’s IG post, his fellow teammates praised him for his goal, including Benfica’s Alejandro Grimaldo, who told him ‘you are too good’.
IS ENZO FERNANDEZ HEADING TO PREMIER LEAGUE?
Like every major tournament, it opens up the shop window for players to secure transfers and the 2022 World Cup will be no different.
By the time players return to domestic action – Boxing Day – then it will only be a matter of days before the transfer window starts to talk.
Could Benfica be losing one of its talented stars? They already sold Darwin Nunez to Liverpool in the summer and if his former teammate continues to shine at the World Cup, then it will only increase his chances of heading for the exit door.
