Aston Villa midfielder, Enzo Barrenechea, is ready for a permanent passage in Benfica after joining the Portuguese club on loan this summer.
The loan agreement of 2.5 million pounds sterling includes the obligation for Benfica to complete the transfer for 12 million euros if specific conditions related to performance were met.
Enzo Barrenechea has succeeded so far
The Bournechea de Villa move to Benfica was officially announced in July 2025, with the 24 -year -old Argentinian arrival arriving for a season for a season for 3 million euros. The contract includes a compulsory purchase clause worth 12 million euros, which will be triggered if Barrenechea makes 15 appearances for Benfica this season, according to reports via Sportwitness.
In addition to costs for its transfer, Villa will earn 30% of the Si Benfica in Benfica, in the future, will be sold in Fenfica, this sales provision capped at 10 million euros.
Barrenechea has been a key player in his midfielder for Benfica so far, and it is fair to assume that he will eventually meet the conditions for a permanent transfer. He has already appeared in eight games for the club, starting all the matches.
Barrenechea must leave the villa
The midfielder has no future in Aston Villa, and he will seek to settle a permanent outing of the club soon. Coming permanently Benfica would be ideal for him. It is clear that they move it away and he will get regular opportunities with them. The player is young enough to improve more, and he has to play regularly in order to continue his development.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa hopes to use the product of his departure to improve their team. They do not consider him as a key element of the factory, and the return to the English club makes no sense for the player.
