Benfica president bluntly criticized Enzo Fernandez

Despite Benfica's president Rui Costa's best efforts, he could not convince Enzo Fernandez to stay. And in the latest interview, Rui Costa criticized the attitude of the Argentine player in this incident.

“Enzo Fernandez does not want to stay at Benfica. He didn't give us a chance. I tried my best. I'm very sad, but I won't cry for a player who doesn't want to stay. When Chelsea arrived, it was impossible to change his mind.

In the last day of the transfer window, we have reached an agreement to sell Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea in the summer. But he doesn't want to stay. From the moment Enzo realized Chelsea was going to spend the money, he was unknowing. We tried to convince, but the player did not show any signs of continuing to play at Benfica.

I asked Chelsea that he stay until the summer and the fee is lower. But he doesn't want to continue playing for Benfica. And that's what changed everything.

At that point, I determined that he would not wear the Benfica shirt anymore. I don't cry for the players who don't want to wear our shirt.

I had hopes Enzo wanted to compete for the championship with us. When I realized he didn't want to, I didn't want to see him wear a Benfica shirt again. A player like that can't step foot in our dressing room anymore."
