Benfica to send sporting director to see Enzo Fernandez

Benfica are making moves to get ahead in the race to sign Enzo Fernandez, one of the most promising players in Argentinian football. The Portuguese side will send Rui Pedro Braz, the club's sporting director, to see the player live.

According to 'Ole', the Portuguese will be one of the spectators at the match between River and Colo-Colo, corresponding to the penultimate matchday of Group F of the Copa Libertadores. In recent months, the midfielder has been the subject of interest from several top clubs.

That is why the Portuguese club intends to move forward with his transfer in the coming days. However, there is one issue that could hinder the operation.  Benfica are not willing to pay the cost of the buyout clause.

The aforementioned media outlet indicated that the figure, set at 20 million euros, is too high. However, he could make a significant effort to convince the Argentinian club.
