Enzo Fernández recalls leaving Benfica and admits: The fans... | OneFootball

Enzo Fernández acknowledged that the fans are still upset. Recently, the Argentine footballer recalled his transfer from Benfica to Chelsea in January 2023 and admitted that, despite the short time, he experienced happy moments with the eagle on his chest.

In an interview given to the Extra Time podcast, the Argentine began by highlighting how essential his time at the Clube da Luz was: “Benfica was a very important step. Playing at such a big club like Benfica, which believed in me.”

“I was there for a short time, but in the end, I felt a lot of love for the club, for the people around the club. The fans are still a bit upset, but that’s normal given what happened,” added the Argentine international — who is currently injured — making a revelation about the Benfiquistas.

Regarding the ‘saga’ that was his transfer, the number 8 of the Blues says he lived through a ‘crazy’ month: “It was incredible. It was a month of a lot of confusion — the transfer was going to happen, then it wasn’t... I was very young at that time.”

“It happened, on the last day of the transfer window, a very valuable transfer. I tried to enjoy the last few weeks. Because if it happened, great. If not, in the end, I was at a club like Benfica, which was giving me everything,” added Enzo Fernández, in conversation with Extra Time.
