On his return to the Benfica team, Enzo Fernandez celebrated a goal with the phrase "I'm staying," giving a hint that he will remain with the club.
The Argentina midfielder, who won the World Cup, was let go because he went back to his home country to celebrate the New Year, which upset the club.
However, the £112 million-rated wonderkid Fernandez, who has been in the crosshairs of Chelsea scouts, scored in his team's 2-0 Portuguese Cup victory over Varzim on Tuesday, indicating that he is not going anywhere.
Fernandez performed an emotional celebration in front of Benfica fans in the away end after scoring confidently from close range for the first time.
In a video shared on social media, the 21-year-old man pumps his fist and repeatedly taps the club's badge on his shirt before pointing to the field to say, "I'm staying here" and slapping the Benfica badge again.
Most people think that Fernandez is one of the most promising players in all of football. He played all 120 minutes for the South American team when they beat France on penalties in the World Cup final in Qatar in December.
Following a string of outstanding performances for both the club and the nation, Premier League Chelsea are believed to be willing to pay his £100 million-plus release clause, despite the fact that he only joined the Eagles from River Plate for £10 million last summer.
However, manager Graham Potter was dealt another blow when Benfica boss Roger Schmidt on Monday called the Blues' pursuit of the player "closed."
In addition, it appears from Fernandez's most recent actions that he has accepted staying at the Estadio da Luz.
