In this very short time, the midfielder consolidated in European football, played in the Champions League, scored goals, He was called up for a World Cup which he won and established himself as the best young player. Everything, in half a year.

At the end of June, the transfer from Núñez to Lisbon took place in return 18 million euros, 10 of which were paid in cash by the Portuguese club and the other eight were subject to targets: If he reached 10, 25, 40 and 50 games and played at least 45 minutes, the millionaire would receive two million.

However, all that money can be doubled and more. The midfielder’s sensational World Cup, which started as an alternative and became the undisputed starter since the match with Poland, aroused the interest of the greats of the Old Continent.

The team that entered the race is Chelsea, which not only provides the value of the clause, but would also be decisive because he is the one who offers Enzo the best economic terms. So much so that, according to Fabrizio Romano, the argentinian has accepted the offer and now heThe blues is in direct talks with the Portuguese club and prepare a heavy bid for the midfielder.

Benfica coach Roger Schmidt said: “These young players sometimes have opportunities. It’s part of the football business. When they get opportunities, they have to make decisions. I can give them advice and recommendations. But I’ve always respected the players because they only have one career.”

Although the winter window has just opened and there is a month to negotiate, in Las Águilas they are willing to do everything possible to keep it, especially because of the illusion of winning the Primeira Liga again after three years and being one of the clubs in the round of 16 of the Champions League. To do this, they would not hesitate to propose to be one of the highest paid players in Portugal thus convincing him to postpone his departure at least until the end of the season in June.

HOW MUCH MONEY DOES RIVER GET
