Shining at Benfica, Enzo Barrenechea makes revelation involving Porto | OneFootball

Enzo Barrenechea made a bombshell revelation about his future in Portugal. According to what the Benfica player said, the Argentine was close to signing with Porto, the eternal rivals of the Eagles. However, a sudden change at the Dragons meant the deal never came to fruition.

In an interview with Argentine YouTuber Ezzequiel, the number 5 of the red and whites confirmed that he was close to signing with the club from Invicta: "At Porto". However, the deal ultimately did not materialize, as Martín Anselmi’s departure from the Dragons’ technical staff put the negotiations on hold.

In the same conversation, the midfielder, who has been shining with the Eagles on his chest, was asked to name the best player in his position. Without any hesitation, the Benfica footballer pointed to Vitinha, the Portuguese international and João Neves’ teammate at PSG, as his main reference.

Finally, Enzo Barrenechea — who stood out in the victory against Napoli — cleared up all doubts about his favorite club in Argentina and the midfielder chose the same as Nicolás Otamendi: "I would rather play for River, the team I supported as a child".

This season, Enzo Barrenechea — currently valued at 13 million euros — has been one of Benfica’s standout players. In total, the number 5 has already played 26 official matches, across domestic competitions and the Champions League. In the 2,113 minutes he has spent on the pitch, he has recorded one goal and one assist.
