Enzo Barrenechea: Nearly joined Porto, hails Vitinha as the best | OneFootball

Enzo Barrenechea confirms that he almost transferred to FC Porto. The midfielder, whom Benfica signed from Aston Villa, states that the move to Dragão did not materialize because Martín Anselmi was dismissed from the blue and whites.

In a conversation with the Argentine YouTuber Ezzequiel, the midfielder was asked which club he was close to joining and he replied: “FC Porto,” indicating the Portuguese international from PSG, Vitinha, as “the best” in his position. Barrenechea, 24, highlighted passing as his main strength and pointed out marking as his biggest weakness.

During this quick-fire question exchange, he was asked if he preferred River Plate or Boca Juniors. “I would prefer to play for River, whom I supported as a child,” he shared. For now, his goal is to reach the Argentine national team and he dreams of being called up for the 2026 World Cup. “But it depends on many things,” he clarified.
