Marco Silva open to Benfica midfielder loan, but buy is mandatory | OneFootball

Enzo Barrenechea was initially expected to leave during this summer transfer window, but the opportunities given by Marco Silva and his performances on the pitch ended up changing the plans of the Eagles’ hierarchy at the start of the season. However, the Argentine’s future at the Club is still not decided.

According to Record, the red-and-white SAD, led by Rui Costa, is open to letting the South American midfielder leave on loan, but wants the deal to include an обязательный purchase clause.

This solution would allow Benfica to free up space in the squad while also securing a future fee for the 25-year-old player, who was signed permanently from Aston Villa after the objectives set out in the initial agreement were met.

It is worth remembering that João Palhinha is the priority target for the position, but Bayern Munich’s financial demands have made the deal difficult. Given the lack of alternatives in the current squad, Marco Silva has been relying on the player.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Enzo Barrenechea — valued at €12 million — has provided one assist in 333 minutes on the pitch.
