Former Atletico Madrid coach Jorge D'Alessandro has revealed he offered Enzo Fernandez to Real Madrid and Barcelona for €10m.
D'Alessandro made contact with both LaLiga giants when Fernandez was with River Plate. The midfielder left Benfica this week for Chelsea in a British record €120m transfer.
D'Alessandro said on social media: "Terrible management error by Real Madrid and Barcelona... Today he is the best in the world in his position, I offered him when he cost 10 million euros to Ramón Planes (former Barça technical secretary) and the Real Madrid staff.
"Today they search and they will not find something like him. Other roles, but not a chief engineer..."

Best in the world with 29 games at Benfica and 7 WC games? Casemiro, Partey, Rodri, Tchouameni are a joke for you? Madness

Best in the world in his position seems like a bit of a stretch innit 😅

Congratulations to Chelsea and good luck to Enzo. I’m happy for him because he’s one of Messi’s boy in the national team. But Barca and Madrid always find players better then the rest.

He is just an average player nothing special. Barca may be my rival but I will choose Frankie De Jong over him
