Three days ago, at the World Cup, the 21-year-old starlet scored his debut goal for the La Albiceleste in the second group game against Mexico.

As per yesterday’s version of Jornal de Noticias (news image provided below), top European clubs have been following Enzo for some time. Now, after his top performance at the biggest stage, the suitors are tempted to hire his services.

Last month, Sport reported the youngster is valued at around 50 million euros. However, JN have made it clear that he will only be sold if a fee of £103.7million (120 million euros) is paid i.e. if the release clause in his contract is activated.

Enzo directly contributed in 17 goals in his last campaign for River Plate before moving to Portugal. This term, so far, he has scored 3 goals and provided 5 assists in all competitions for Benfica.

Man Utd allowed Paul Pogba to leave for free last summer and they have not been able to replace the record signing as yet.
