Manchester United target Enzo Fernandez has strong interest in joining the Red Devils as the race for the player’s signature intensifies.
United were once linked to Fernández before he made a move from River Plate to Benfica.
Links with him resurfaced during the World Cup, with the Argentine playing a crucial role in Albiceleste’s campaign on their way to winning the trophy.
Fernández also won the Young Player of the Tournament Award.
Many clubs have expressed interest in the 21-year-old. The player recently commented on the hotly contested career for his services, saying that his facilitators are handling everything related to the transfer.
Real Madrid is an admirer of Fernández, although it was indicated that he has chosen to sign Jude Bellingham instead of the Argentine international.
Liverpool are also interested in the player, as are Chelsea, who are reportedly willing to pay the youngster’s mega release clause with the intention of beating their rivals with his transfer.
The Muppetiers, a relatively reliable United transfer source, reports: “With regards to Enzo, there is a lot more chance for United than meets the eye, with the player having a strong interest in joining Manchester United above others. clubs.
“However, only Chelsea in active discussions and United currently without the financial capacity to compete. [pay his release clause].”

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano also says that the rumors that Liverpool are making an offer for Fernández are misplaced.
The Merseyside club have entered into talks with Benfica and the player’s representatives, but have not submitted an official offer.
There is also no truth to the reports that the player’s release clause has been activated.
Romano adds: “The race for Enzo is open.”
Liverpool have never submitted official proposals for Enzo Fernández as things stand. Conversations, great interest, of course, but he never made an official offer to Benfica. ???????????? #LFC
The release clause rumors triggered in recent days have never been confirmed.

Amid United’s crippling financial situation and the club’s insistence on loan deals, it is hard to see how a deal for Fernández could be facilitated.
