Negotiations with Verdão

In February, Enciso, who will be teammates at the World Cup with Mauricio, Sosa, and Gustavo Gómez, revealed that negotiations with Palmeiras had fallen through and said he hopes to play for the club in the future.

“I have a great affection for Palmeiras. In fact, I have two Paraguayan teammates there, Gómez and Ramón Sosa. I’m also grateful to the captain, Gustavo, who spoke with me about it, but due to circumstances, it didn’t work out. In any case, I always ask Gustavo or Ramón for their shirt when I’m with the national team, and that affection... remains. I hope that at some point it happens, but I’m also grateful to everyone on Palmeiras’ board who trusted me, and well, as I said, due to circumstances, it didn’t work out.” – he told journalist Tiago Leme of CazéTV

The BlueCo. Group, which controls Chelsea and Strasbourg, signed the young Paraguayan for 15 million euros (R$ 95.91 million), plus bonuses. He is seen as a “long-term” option for Chelsea and could later move to Stamford Bridge starting in the 2026/27 season.
