Benfica put Enzo Barrenechea on the market and offered him to Trabzonspor, but the club from Türkiye declined the move, according to Glorioso 1904.

At the start of this window, the 25-year-old was earmarked for an exit as the club sought a fee. Trabzonspor emerged as a possible destination, yet the transfer never materialised.

Trabzonspor chose not to proceed after deciding the Argentine midfielder’s profile did not fit. The Trabzon side also opted to preserve funds for a costly pursuit of Mohamed Salah.

A delay in Benfica recruiting a new defensive midfielder created an opening that Barrenechea seized. Opportunities from Marco Silva and his responses on the pitch reshaped the club’s early-season plans.

Barrenechea is now moving closer to securing a place in the squad for the current campaign. He has started seven matches and his form has the staff considering keeping him as the holding option.
