Benfica and Valencia are at a deadlock in negotiations over Enzo Barrenechea, as Glorioso 1904 has learned. In this exclusive, our newspaper states that the Spanish club is interested in signing the Argentine midfielder; however, Valencia’s intentions do not match the demands set by the Eagles.
Glorioso 1904 has learned from sources close to the process that Valencia want Barrenechea back as early as next season, since the Argentine is not seen as indispensable by the Eagles. However, as our newspaper can confirm, Benfica are not interested in loaning out the number 5.
In other words, as Glorioso 1904 has learned exclusively, the Lisbon club, led by Rui Costa, intends to sell Barrenechea in the summer for a fee of around €15 million, the same amount it invested to sign him from Aston Villa. However, as our newspaper has already learned, these terms are far from ideal for Valencia.
As was already known to Glorioso 1904, Barrenechea’s spell at Mestalla left fond memories and, with that in mind, the che club only want to take the player on loan, without committing to buy him at the end of the season, let alone for €15 million. Valencia’s lack of financial liquidity means Benfica do not view a possible deal for the Argentine favorably, leaving his future at a standstill.
This season, in service of Benfica, Enzo Barrenechea — valued at €15 million — has already made 43 official appearances: 26 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 13 in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and one in the Super Cup. .
