Although Fernandez started and starred for Argentina's team as they beat France in the World Cup final, while Camavinga was on the France bench.
Genuine question for everyone out there - who, if anyone, seems a better prospect in central midfield out there right now than Fernandez?
Even more so, are there any top drawer young CMs who aren't yet already at a big club that won't sell a la Barca or Real?
One mentioned might be Caicedo, though Fernandez currently seems a better prospect than him. Are there any other possibilities a bit younger e.g. just making their debuts?
If Chelsea get Enzo and Barca won't sell FDJ, who can Utd get to replace /support Eriksen or Casemiro in the next season or two? And please not Rice.
Nobody on this forum had heard of Enzo Fernandez two or three years ago. In two or 3 years there will be another highly rated crop of midfielders all the top clubs will be chasing. That's the thing with football, the talent doesn't stop coming. Assembling some of it under a manager who can knit it together into a winning team is the hard part.
Unless one of these guys becomes the midfield version of Messi or Ronaldo then I'm not sure it's worth getting that upset about missing out on them. We're going to miss out on a lot of no young players that'll turn good, but we'll sign plenty too.
Hopefully for a lot less than £100m...there's no way that can be good, long term.
