The Transandean midfielder signed for Chelsea at the last minute, for the exorbitant figure of 121 million euros, yes, his departure did not please the Portuguese club at all.
Chelsea gave one of the strongest blows in the market on the last day they had a deadline. They signed the World champion , Enzo Fernandez to 121 million euros derived from Benfica . Faced with this situation, the president of the Portuguese team, Rui Costa made statements to BTV, where He liquidated the trans-Andean midfielder for showing no interest in continuing in the Portuguese team.
In the first instance, the helmsman of the club spoke about the situation: “Everything has been done to ensure that Enzo is not sold. I have a clear conscience and I am as sad as any Benfica fan” . Later he added:We have tried everything. Enzo has always shown a desire not to stay at Benfica”.
Subsequently, the historic former footballer from Portugal expressed his dislike for the young Argentinian promise: “As a fan, I didn’t want to see Enzo as a player anymore. I couldn’t go on, I decided he had to leave. Committing to Benfica is not fighting your chest” .
In explaining the situation, Costa argued the following: “When he arrived chelsea , it was really impossible to change your mind. On the last day of the transfer, we reached an agreement to sell Enzo to Chelsea this summer, but he didn’t want to stay.”
“When he learned that the club was going to pay the value of the clause, there was nothing to do. We tried to insist, but the player showed no interest in continuing at Benfica” added the president of the Portuguese club.
Continuing the theme, the former Milan player spared nothing for the trans-Andean midfielder, and threw all the darts he had saved: “I was hoping that Enzo would want to stay to fight for the championship with us. When I realized he didn’t want to, I didn’t want to see him wear the Benfica shirt either.”
But the former historic player did not stop there, as he continued to hit the new crack of the blues: “A player who, even with the possibility of not losing a single euro and with the security of a contract with the chelsea He does not want to continue, he will never be able to stay at Benfica. This player can no longer enter the locker room.”
“We lost a great player, but I won’t cry for a player who didn’t want to stay at Benfica. I grew up at Benfica, knowing how to honor Benfica. Respecting Enzo, he is free to choose and the choice was not to stay at Benfica. At Benfica, there will only be players who are proud to be here.” Rui Costa condemned.
Two days after the closing of the signature, Enzo Fernández made his debut as the two-time Champions League champion in a match valid for the premier league who confronted them Fulham at Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea.
