After a year of training and trying to find a new destination, the midfielder is still unemployed. Therefore, he decided to retire. Zinedine Zidane and other family members also support Enzo in this decision.
Enzo is a product of Real Madrid's youth training. The player born in 1995 plays in the attacking midfielder position, similar to his father before.
