In the lead-up to the FIFA date with the Argentine National Team, the Manchester City midfielder visited the Millonario stadium and met with president Stéfano Di Carlo
The bond between Enzo Fernández and River remains intact, even after building a remarkable career in European football. Amid his stay in Argentina to participate in the FIFA date with the National Team, the Manchester City midfielder took some free time to return to the place where he began his professional journey and reconnect with the club he loves.
The player visited the Monumental Stadium, toured its facilities, and had a meeting with Stéfano Di Carlo, the president of the institution. During the meeting in the presidential office, he received a special jersey for the 125th anniversary of the Millonario, personalized with his last name and the number 13, the number he wore during his time with the Núñez team.
The visit was shared on the club's official social media, which accompanied two photographs of the meeting with a message dedicated to the world champion: "Enzo at home, with the Sacred Mantle and the love for River as always. During his visit to the Monumental, @EnzoFe17 was received by president @stefanocdicarlo in the presidential office".
Before meeting with Di Carlo, the midfielder also had time to walk through the stadium stands and share an image on his Instagram account. He accompanied it with two words that reflected his feelings for the institution: "At home".

The return took place on the morning of this Wednesday, on a day when the players called up by Lionel Scaloni had free time before the afternoon training. The practice had been scheduled for the afternoon due to the visit of the Pope to the Basilica of Our Lady of Luján, allowing the players to take advantage of the early hours of the day to engage in various activities.
The visit also brought back to the table a possibility that the player himself does not rule out: returning to River one day. In a recent interview with Los Edul, Fernández reaffirmed his desire to wear the Millonario jersey again, although he clarified that it will still be several years before that wish can be fulfilled.
