There is no better showcase than the World Cup, the stage that for a month concentrates the attention of the football planet. Jude Bellingham, the 19-year-old English international who appears marked as a goal for 2023, shone at the Qatar event . But in the plans of Real Madrid, which does not lose sight of the generational renewal that it must undertake in the midfield with a view to a future without Kroos or Modric, an alternative has also appeared, a rising star: the Argentine Enzo Fernández . The 21-year-old Benfica player is shining in the World Cup with the Albiceleste. After making the leap to Europe last summer at the hands of the Lisbon club, the Qatari event is consecrating the former River player . He has participated in two goals: he made the goal that sealed the victory (2-0) against Mexico with which the Albiceleste took oxygen after their surprising defeat against Saudi Arabia and gave an assist to Julián Álvarez in the victory (0-2) against Poland that classified Scaloni’s men for the crosses.

future kings of the market

Bellingham and Enzo Fernández are two players called to break the market. The Briton is, after three seasons at Dortmund, a consolidated player on the European scene . He did not make his Premier League debut before leaving England, but he did play, at the age of 16, in the Championship, the demanding English second division that is considered, due to its economic potential, as the sixth best league in the world. Dortmund paid 25 million euros to Birmingham for his transfer and hope to multiply that amount by six in a subsequent sale. Its market value, according to Olocip, already reaches 87 million euros. Enzo made the leap to Europe last summer after a brilliant season at River Plate. He is living a dream final stretch of 2022. In addition to his signing by Benfica, Scaloni recruited him for the World Cup after giving him the alternative as an international in the friendlies in September and he is the undisputed starter with the Albiceleste. His market value is €19.5 million, but Olocip’s appraisal is still conditioned by his stage in a lower level league such as Argentina . With a clause of 120 million, in Portugal they affirm that Benfica will not release it for less than 80 . Liverpool is, for now, Madrid’s main rival to win both .

Consistent Performance, Unlimited Potential

The artificial intelligence (AI) developed by Olocip throws a technical tie in the performance of both. Their contribution to their respective teams is very similar . Bellingham generates a value of 0.27 goals per game for Dortmund. In other words, their actions help generate or avoid a goal every 333 minutes. Enzo, for his part, generates a value of 0.28 for Benfica, the equivalent of a goal scored or avoided every 321′. The Argentine is the most decisive player in the Portuguese league in creating play. And he has potential for improvement , since his offensive performance is far from the benefits he offered in River. The Englishman shows better numbers in defensive and offensive actions and stands out especially in the Champions League , where he is the fourth player that generates the greatest value, behind Mbappé, Salah and Sané. Bellingham is one of the sensations of the season in the top continental competition, where he has four goals. The AI ​​predicts that the performance of one or the other in Madrid would be very similar, although, compared to other candidates to join the white team, they would present a defensive deficit. Playing for the whites, Bellingham could reach a rating of 99 and offensively he would become one of the best players in his position. Enzo Fernández, for his part, would be more decisive in the construction of the game .
