During his presentation, Enzo Fernández praised the structure of City and contrasted it with the instability at Chelsea. Romain Molina stated that Enzo Fernández said he did not want to play again in that club, which he described using a derogatory term. It is also reported that Maresca insisted strongly at City to have Enzo Fernández.

Enzo Fernandez has been officially presented by Manchester City after a deal with Chelsea was agreed. Fernandez expressed his relief to be reunited with his former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca at Manchester City. Fernandez stated that Maresca was very important in bringing him to the Etihad Stadium and that both were eager for the transfer to happen. He said that Maresca is a top manager and that he had incredible moments and learned a great deal with him at his previous club. Fernandez added that he is grateful because Maresca was very important in bringing him to City, and it is a great pleasure for him to work alongside him. He also said that both he and Maresca were very eager for the move to happen because it was difficult. Fernandez stated that he knows Maresca made a significant effort by speaking to the club and he is grateful for that.

Chelsea allowed Enzo Fernandez to join Manchester City despite the collapse of the Camara deal. Chelsea had the possibility to abort the Fernandez transfer after failing to acquire Camara but decided to honor their agreement with Enzo Fernandez and Manchester City, approving the move. According to Romano, Chelsea's handling of the situation is described as showing class.

The transfer for Enzo Fernandez was concluded thirty minutes after the official closing of the transfer window. Enzo Maresca had wanted Fernandez at City for a long time. Fernandez had previously been linked with Real Madrid earlier in the summer. Manchester City decided on Fernandez after discussing other options internally, including Adam Wharton at Crystal Palace and Roma's Manu Kone. City ultimately paid the asking price of the selling club.

Manchester City have signed Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea on a five-year contract for a joint British record transfer fee of £125million (€146m / $169m). Following his departure, Fernandez wrote a farewell message in which he said that Manchester City are the most successful club in England in recent times and that every player wants to be part of such a club. He stated he could not be happier to be there and is ready for the challenge of helping City continue winning trophies, calling it a club built for success with quality in every area. Fernandez said he wants to learn from his new teammates and become a better player, adding that he prides himself on continually improving his game. He mentioned that he trains hard every day, gives his maximum effort in matches, and promised Manchester City that this will continue. He thanked Hugo, Enzo, Khaldoon, and everyone at City who made the deal possible and said he wants to repay the confidence shown in him as soon as possible. Director of Football Hugo Viana said that at Manchester City, they are always looking to bring in world-class players and Enzo is such a player. Viana described him as a complete midfielder who is technically gifted, hardworking, tenacious, and a goalscorer. He added that Fernandez is adept at playing different styles of football, being comfortable with a possession-based game and also effective on the counter. Viana stated that having played in two World Cup finals and won major trophies in multiple countries at just 25 demonstrates his mentality, professionalism, and technical quality, adding that they are delighted to bring him there and are very confident he will improve their team.

Enzo Fernandez admitted in a farewell message to Chelsea fans that he had not been in a good place before completing a record-equalling transfer to Manchester City. The Argentina international midfielder spent much of the last six months pushing to leave Stamford Bridge, completing a €145 million move in the final minutes of the window. Chelsea fought to retain Enzo, with Xabi Alonso having handed him the captain's armband in a show of faith.

Jacob Steinberg reported that Chelsea have agreed to sell Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City for a fixed fee of £125m. The transfer is not dependent on Chelsea adding to their squad.

According to David Ornstein, Manchester City have agreed to pay over £120 million to sign Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea. Writing on X, Ornstein stated that Manchester City reached an agreement with Chelsea for the 25-year-old midfielder with a package worth £125m, which matches the British transfer record, and that Chelsea has granted the Argentina international permission to undergo a medical and complete the move. Fabrizio Romano wrote on X that Enzo Fernández is going to Manchester City, using the phrase "HERE WE GO!". Romano also stated that a deal is in place for a fee over £125m after a long negotiation and that Chelsea approved the sale. He added that Enzo only wanted Manchester City and is now set for a medical. Fernandez is set to sign a six-year contract at the Etihad.

Enzo Fernández is transferring from Chelsea to Manchester City on Deadline Day. Multiple prominent transfer journalists reported on Tuesday evening that the deal is complete. Manchester City are paying 145 million euros for the midfielder, equaling the Premier League record. Chelsea had resisted Fernández's departure, but Manchester City persisted in their efforts and have now acquired the midfield reinforcement they sought. Fernández is scheduled to undergo a medical examination with his new club on Tuesday evening. The transfer window in England closes at 23:59 local time.

Ben Jacobs reports that Manchester City have reached an agreement in principle to sign Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for a £125m fee.

Football finance expert Stefan Borson has claimed on talkSPORT that Chelsea need to sell Enzo Fernandez to balance their books. Borson stated that he thinks a transfer to Man City for the midfielder is inevitable. He believes Chelsea need to sell for the UEFA settlement and added that the club has done a great job misrepresenting their situation.

According to talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook, Chelsea have rejected an official bid worth more than €140 million (£120m) from Manchester City for Enzo Fernandez. The Argentina international wants to reunite with former boss Enzo Maresca at the Etihad Stadium before the end of Transfer Deadline Day. Chelsea want a higher figure to approve a sale this close to the end of the window. Fernandez has urged Chelsea officials to accept a bid from Manchester City before the transfer window closes.

Matt Law of The Telegraph claims that Chelsea have rejected a proposal from Manchester City and that Xabi Alonso's side wants a better fee and payment terms. Blues manager Alonso said he made the decision not to include Enzo Fernandez in the squads which faced Luton Town and Brighton and Hove Albion because of the intense speculation surrounding his future.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Manchester City and FC Chelsea have reached an agreement for the transfer of Enzo Fernández. The transfer fee for the 25-year-old midfielder is mentioned as being around 140 million euros, and the deal is expected to be finalized by midnight on Deadline Day.

AS reported that Manchester City plans to offer Chelsea £120 million plus bonuses of £17 million for Enzo Fernández, for a total deal of £137 million (€159.8 million). Many media state that this transfer could become the biggest in Premier League history.

Manchester City’s pursuit of Enzo Fernandez has entered a decisive stage, with direct negotiations with Chelsea continuing late into Monday evening. According to Ben Jacobs, club-to-club negotiations between Chelsea and Man City continued late into the evening. Sources close to Fernandez are said to be optimistic that an agreement will be reached, following what is described as the first major breakthrough in negotiations. The midfielder is reportedly keen on joining City. Sky Sports reported that City have now opened direct talks with Chelsea despite missing the Blues’ earlier August 14 deadline. Chelsea had previously valued Fernandez at around £120m and are willing to sell only if their valuation is met and they can strengthen their squad before the window closes. Fernandez wants the move and strongly desires to join City. Chelsea have already inquired about potential replacements including Manu Koné and Lamine Camara. The main issue is timing, as Chelsea need to bring in a replacement. If Chelsea can secure Koné, Camara or another preferred replacement quickly, the transfer could proceed very fast, but if their replacement plans are delayed, they may opt to keep Fernandez.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City have made an official club-to-club approach with Chelsea for Enzo Fernandez, which is the first this summer. Negotiations are ongoing, and Enzo Fernandez is waiting for a verdict. The transfer fee is expected to be approximately 100 million euro. Fernandez is open to the move and Chelsea are open to a transfer, but an agreement on the fee has not yet been reached.

According to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City has submitted an official offer to Chelsea for midfielder Enzo Fernández, and talks are ongoing. Following the offer, Enzo is now awaiting the outcome of the talks between the clubs, and the transfer remains possible.

AS reports that Manchester City and Chelsea are finalizing the transfer of Enzo Fernández for almost 140 million euros. The transfer would be the second most expensive in Premier League history, surpassed only by Alexander Isak's 150 million move to Liverpool. Enzo will sign a five-year contract, until 2031, with an option for one more. He is expected to travel to Manchester in the coming hours to undergo a medical examination and sign the new contract. Enzo was left out of the squad against Luton for the League Cup. By mutual agreement with the club and technical staff, he was also excluded from the squad against Brighton last weekend.

According to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, Chelsea have intensified their efforts to sign Manu Kone as they prepare for the possible sale of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City. The same report states that Kone is Chelsea’s priority target to replace Fernandez if Man City submit an offer worth €140 million before the transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on Tuesday.

Manchester City continue to talk with Enzo Fernandez, however Chelsea have not yet received an official proposal for their midfielder. No agreement has been reached between City and Chelsea.

Enzo Fernandez could leave Chelsea for Manchester City before the transfer deadline on Tuesday. Regarding Fernandez, Xabi Alonso said that they must be aware of what will develop until Tuesday evening. The manager also stated that they are not sure and are preparing for all scenarios. Alonso is sure that, regardless of what happens, they will have a squad that is good enough to compete in the Premier League from Wednesday.

Goal.com reports that Enzo Fernandez is finalising a move to Manchester City after no longer being favoured by the Chelsea manager. The arrival of Lamine Camara is expected to facilitate the departure of Enzo Fernandez.

Enzo Fernández was once again left out by the coach amid rumors of a departure to Manchester City. Before the match, Xabi Alonso told Sky Sports that, in reference to the Argentine midfielder, they evaluate what is best for the team and need the team to be focused.

The Mirror reports that Manchester City will have to pay Chelsea £130 million ($176.2 million) to sign Enzo Fernández.

According to RMCsport, Enzo Fernández is not expected to be included in the Chelsea squad for their match against Brighton tomorrow. Fernández is available to leave if Manchester City meets all the financial conditions required to finalize the transaction.

Chelsea are willing to sell Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City in the final days of the summer transfer window, despite their internal deadline having passed. Fernandez has agreed personal terms with Manchester City and is eager to reunite with his former Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca. Although Chelsea previously set a deadline of August 14 for City to complete a deal for Fernandez, they are still open to selling him to the club for £120m in the final stages of the window, which closes on Tuesday. According to Sky Sports, Chelsea are prepared to sell Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City for the right price. Manchester City have not yet opened club-to-club talks with Chelsea, but an approach could soon be made. Chelsea want to agree a replacement signing in midfield before allowing Fernandez to leave.

The Telegraph reported that Manchester City declined an opportunity to make a €140m offer for Enzo Fernandez two weeks ago, because they first needed to complete the sale of Rodri to Barcelona.

Chelsea could attempt to sign Lamine Camara if Enzo Fernandez leaves for Manchester City before next week's deadline. According to Stamford Bridge sources, there has been no direct club-to-club contact from Manchester City. This is despite reports in Argentina claiming a deal for the midfielder is close. Any offer from City would be considered in the context of adding to Xabi Alonso's squad. Alonso left Fernandez out of his squad for Chelsea's win over Luton Town on Thursday night.

The Telegraph's Matt Law reports that Chelsea are now seeking more than €140million (£120m) for Enzo Fernandez to leave the club. Manchester City want to sign Fernandez before the transfer window closes next Tuesday. According to Law, Man City have not yet submitted an offer, and no club-to-club talks have occurred with Chelsea. Earlier this month, Chelsea set an unofficial deadline for interested parties to sign Fernandez for €140m (£120m), a window City allowed to pass. Chelsea are now believed to have raised their asking price for the Argentina international. A transfer is further complicated because Chelsea will only approve Fernandez’s sale if they can find a late replacement.

Manchester City are in daily contact with Enzo Fernandez's agents and are expected to have direct discussions with Chelsea very soon to make a final decision on the deal. At the beginning of the week, Enzo Fernandez gave his approval to Manchester City. He said that he is ready to come and is open to joining their project and to rejoining Enzo Maresca. The contract will be okay, and Enzo is ready. Chelsea maintain their position that the payment must be a suitable amount of money and that it must be money that will help the club to improve the squad. They do not want to sell a player with three or four days left in the window and subsequently be uncertain about what to do.

Reports from Argentina state that Enzo Fernandez asked not to play against Luton. Alonso stated that Fernandez's omission was a decision by him and the club. Alonso denied that the omission was due to club-to-club talks taking place between City and Chelsea. He explained the decision was made because of the game and because other players needed minutes.

According to TyC Sports, Manchester City have reached an agreement with Chelsea for Enzo Fernandez. Manchester City will pay around €140 million for Enzo Fernandez, and he will sign a contract until 2032 with the option to extend for another season. The fee of €140m is equivalent to £120m, which was the price Chelsea had put on the player.

Manchester City is currently finalizing discussions with Chelsea to recruit Enzo Fernandez. According to journalist Gaston Edul, the finalization is a matter of hours. Enzo Fernandez reportedly may have played his last match for Chelsea the previous weekend against Fulham. About ten days ago, Manchester City made a first offer of 120 million euros to Chelsea for Enzo Fernandez, which was refused. Given the price Manchester City can offer, Chelsea has reconsidered its position.

According to 90min, Enzo Fernández was absent from Chelsea's squad for the Carabao Cup match during considerations of his potential move to Manchester City. The 25-year-old playmaker has been associated with a potential reunion with former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, who took charge at the Etihad at the beginning of the season. Chelsea reportedly informed Manchester City that a deal would cost £120 million ($162.1 million) and set a deadline of 5 p.m. BST on August 14 for an offer, after which the deal would not proceed. While that deadline passed without a bid from Manchester City, Chelsea is now reportedly willing to resume discussions to finalize a deal before the end of the window.

AS reports that the transfer situation involving Enzo Fernández could be resolved in the next few hours. The relationship between the Argentine midfielder and the club's fans is tense after the Stamford Bridge crowd booed him.

Manchester City are reportedly preparing to bid imminently for Enzo Fernandez and hope to start negotiations for under £120m. Ben Jacobs stated that he has been told a bid is imminent and will happen this week. Jacobs added that the clubs are already in contact, numbers have been discussed, and City sources have said they will start below £120m.

According to Sam Lee of The Athletic, Manchester City have identified Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez as their top target and are set to make their first official bid to sign him in the next 24 to 48 hours. Lee expects a deal to develop in the next two days. Although Manchester City allowed an unofficial deadline for a €140 million (£120m) deal to pass earlier this month, Enzo Maresca’s side are still hoping to sign the player. The interest from Manchester City is partly due to a strong relationship between Maresca and Fernandez, who worked together at Chelsea. The club is rebuilding its midfield following the summer sales of Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders and Nico Gonzalez. David Ornstein of The Athletic reported last Sunday that Chelsea will consider selling Fernandez if a replacement can be sourced.

Enzo Fernández has publicly stated that he wants to leave. Manchester City may try to delay the deal to force Chelsea to lower the price.

Manchester City are confident they will agree a deal for Enzo Fernandez before the transfer window closes. Fernandez wants to move to Man City and is reportedly interested in the transfer in order to play in the Champions League. Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has been unable to guarantee that Fernandez will remain at the club next week. According to Ben Jacobs, discussions between Man City and Chelsea have restarted. TEAMtalk claims that City will make a €140m bid in the coming hours, with the same having been reported in Argentina the day prior. It is expected that City will either have to pay more than €140m or offer Chelsea enticing payment terms. Chelsea seem to accept that there is no benefit in keeping Fernandez.

There is intense speculation linking Enzo Fernandez with a late summer transfer to Manchester City, and manager Enzo Maresca is reportedly very interested in bringing the player to the Etihad Stadium before the transfer window closes this week. Amid reports of a late £120 million transfer bid from Manchester City, Xabi Alonso expects Enzo Fernandez to play in the Carabao Cup on Thursday.

ESPN reports that Manchester City have made an offer of 145 million euros to Chelsea for Enzo Fernández. This would slightly exceed Chelsea's original demand.

A report from Nicolo Schira states that Enzo Fernandez is making efforts to leave Chelsea and has again requested to be sold to Manchester City. The report also states that the player has agreed to personal terms for a contract until 2032, and Manchester City is confident of completing the transfer with Chelsea for €130M.

Chelsea has given Enzo Fernandez permission for a transfer to Manchester City, according to Fabrizio Romano.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Enzo Fernández has approved a move to Manchester City. Fernández is open to the move and to re-joining Enzo Maresca. A bid from Manchester City is to be sent soon, and the decision rests with Chelsea.

The Athletic has reported that Manchester City still want to sign Enzo Fernandez before the window closes. The report states the problem is not necessarily the €140m (£120m) valuation of Fernandez, but that City have left Chelsea with little time to source a replacement, which may prevent a deal.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the potential transfer to Manchester City is becoming more active again, and the club is planning to submit an official offer for Enzo soon. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the clubs are negotiating. It is expected that the deal will be completed this week.

Xabi Alonso has confirmed his wish for Enzo Fernandez's future to be resolved promptly. According to rumours, Manchester City are now prepared to meet Chelsea's asking price of €140 million. It is understood that an agreement remains possible despite City missing the 14 August deadline, and that discussions between the two clubs will probably intensify in the coming days.

Manchester City has not given up on Enzo Fernández. According to The Guardian, the club could use money from the sale of Nico González to Newcastle for another attempt to sign the midfielder. ESPN reports that City is ready to meet the amount Chelsea is asking for Fernández.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Manchester City plan to make another attempt for Enzo Fernández after sales are completed. Manchester City are in daily club to club contact with the player's camp. Chelsea would only consider a sale on the condition that they can improve their squad.

Barcelona is the latest club to target Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, joining Manchester City and Real Madrid in their interest to sign the player. Although Chelsea may attempt to prevent a transfer from Manchester City, the club still anticipates further interest from Enzo Maresca’s side. According to Si Phillips, Enzo’s agent is still in contact with Manchester City. The player has a strong relationship with the new manager at that club.

Football Insider reports that Manchester City are willing to pay the £120 million price Chelsea is asking for Enzo Fernandez and that the club is expected to speed up negotiations before the transfer window closes. The same report states that Chelsea are open to selling the 25-year-old if their valuation is met. City considers Fernandez to be one of their main targets.

According to The Guardian, Manchester City remain interested in signing Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea. Fernandez made it clear earlier in the summer that he wanted to leave Stamford Bridge, but a move to Real Madrid did not happen. The player is also interested in a move to Man City, where he would be reunited with former Chelsea boss Maresca. Chelsea want £120m for Fernandez and Man City value him at a lower figure.

According to Football Insider, Manchester City are ready to match Chelsea’s €140 million asking price for Enzo Fernandez. The Argentina midfielder wants to reunite with ex-Blues boss Enzo Maresca. Manchester City missed Chelsea’s imposed deadline of 14 August for a transfer, but it is believed that a transfer could still take place, especially given Fernandez’s desire to leave Stamford Bridge. Manchester City are reportedly willing to pay a club-record fee in order to bring Fernandez to the Etihad Stadium before Deadline Day.

According to Simon Phillips on Substack, Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is a target for Manchester City. Phillips reports that Fernandez's agent has continued talks with Manchester City, and that there is an expectation from Chelsea and those in the industry that City will attempt to sign the player this window. Sources from Fernandez's camp have stated that the response was clear and simple, and that it was Manchester or Madrid, but not Barcelona.

Chelsea could attempt to sign Adam Wharton before the transfer deadline if Enzo Fernandez is sold to Manchester City. Xabi Alonso has declined to comment on the ongoing speculation that Enzo Fernandez might move to Manchester City before the summer transfer window closes.

90min reports that Manchester City is interested in signing Enzo Fernández from Chelsea. A fee of $162 million (£120 million) had been agreed with his agents and functioned as a release clause. Chelsea had committed to accepting such an offer before August 14. Chelsea have stressed their desire to keep Fernández, stating they will not disrupt Alonso’s squad so close to the start of the Premier League season. However, there is a belief that they would still be prepared to sell the player. City are the only club pursuing Fernández. City recently received $88 million from selling Rodri to Barcelona and have agreed to sell winger Savinho to Tottenham Hotspur in a deal valued at up to $116 million. Striker Omar Marmoush is also expected to be sold in a deal worth a slightly lower amount. City possess the funds to make a significant bid for Fernández, but Chelsea’s asking price is unclear at this late stage of the summer transfer window.

Xabi Alonso has not ruled out the sale of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City, amid significant interest from the club. The Argentina international is interested in the possibility of joining City, but Chelsea insist that Fernandez will remain, as their self-imposed deadline passed last week without their €140m asking price being met.

Amid transfer speculation linking Enzo Fernandez with a move to Manchester City, Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso stated that the player continues to be a central component of his plans.

Manchester City do not intend to pay the €140 million asking price set by Chelsea for Enzo Fernandez. According to TEAMtalk, Man City will not pay a higher fee for Fernandez than the €135 million used to acquire Elliot Anderson earlier in the window.

Chelsea insists the matter regarding Enzo Fernandez is closed and that he will not be leaving this summer, as a demanded €140 million offer did not materialize. However, the club is aware that Manchester City could still make a significant effort to sign the 25-year-old. The sales of Rodri and Tijjani Reijnders have been agreed in recent days, which means Manchester City may feel they can now afford to spend a large amount of money on Fernandez. According to AS, Chelsea hired superagent Jorge Mendes to speed up the player's potential departure. Mendes is acting as a mediator between Chelsea, Manchester City and Fernandez's camp, which is led by agent Javier Pastore.

According to Goal.com, Chelsea have increased their contingency planning by identifying a primary replacement should vice-captain Enzo Fernandez complete a move to Manchester City. The report states that Fernandez is wanted by Enzo Maresca at Manchester City following Rodri's exit.

According to The Telegraph, Manchester City will likely have to pay more than €140 million to sign Enzo Fernandez during the final two weeks of the transfer window after missing Chelsea’s deadline of 17:00 BST on Friday 14 August. Having missed this deadline, City will be required to submit an offer of more than €140m or propose more favourable payment terms if they want to sign Fernandez before 1 September.

Enzo Fernández remains on Manchester City's list this summer at the request of Enzo Maresca. A verbal first offer of 120 million euros was made. Chelsea had previously stated externally that Enzo is not for sale, but his sale has been considered internally since the end of last season. Jorge Mendes has been involved to expedite the departure of Enzo Fernández, and Chelsea owner Behdad Eghbali also wants him to leave. There have been constant contacts between Maresca and Enzo Fernández since the end of the season. The release clause is estimated at 140 million euros, a figure Manchester City does not want to pay if it can be avoided. The operation is expected to resume in the coming days, and Maresca stated that they will be busy these days.

Manchester City has significant interest in Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez and is expected to make a formal approach for him soon. Chelsea is asking for a minimum of €140m to approve a sale. Enzo Maresca has indirectly told Fernandez to finalise a move to City as soon as possible. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Enzo Fernandez could still leave.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Enzo Fernández's agents remain in contact with Man City, who could still attempt to negotiate with Chelsea, although the previous asking price of $162 million (£120 million) is expected to have risen.

Negotiations between Manchester City and Chelsea for the sale of Enzo Fernández expired on Friday. The Manchester City proposal was about 120 million euros, while Chelsea's demand was about 140 million euros. Manchester City has not yet ruled out interest in the player. Enzo Fernández played for Chelsea against Real Sociedad on Saturday. According to 'The Telegraph' in England and Fabrizio Romano, the deal is not ruled out.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Man City maintained active talks with Enzo Fernández's camp even in the last 24 hours. The £120m guaranteed exit clause for Enzo Fernández is no longer available, as a 'verbal clause' deadline has now expired. Any potential transfer is now dependent on Chelsea.

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca claimed his side will not move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, in whom there is significant interest. It was reported that Chelsea had set a deadline of 17:00 BST on Friday 14 August to approve a sale, and that City had been informed a deal would not occur unless a €140 million bid was submitted by that time. Reports confirmed that the deadline passed without a formal offer from City or any other club. The Manchester side could still attempt a bid this summer, but Chelsea now fully expect Fernandez to remain with them.

Manchester City did not make a bid for Enzo Fernandez before Chelsea's Friday deadline, but they could still attempt to sign him this summer. The Argentina international wants to leave Chelsea before the window closes. Chelsea consider the situation resolved, insist that the midfielder will not leave this summer, and remain open to giving him a contract extension. According to Sky Sports reporter Alan Irwin, Man City feel a deal is still possible but will argue they need more time and must first sell Rodri to Barcelona and Tijjani Reijnders to Al-Qadsiah. Ben Jacobs has confirmed that City may try to make a bid for Fernandez this summer, but the strong expectation is that the player will be forced to remain at Chelsea.

According to Ben Jacobs, the 17:00 Friday deadline set by Chelsea for a bid for Enzo Fernandez has passed. No written offer has been received from Manchester City or any other club. In May, the £120m exit conditions were verbally provided to Fernandez's representatives for them to present to potential suitors. Chelsea now expects Fernandez to remain for the 2026/27 season.

Chelsea has set a deadline of 17:00 BST on Friday for offers for Enzo Fernandez, who is a target for Manchester City and is valued at £120m. A potential move would result in the Argentina midfielder being reunited with the new City manager, Enzo Maresca. The deal for Fernandez appears to be conditional on City selling Spain midfielder Rodri to Barcelona. BBC Sport's Simon Stone reports that the deals for Rodri and Fernandez are dependent on each other but are not required to be completed at the same time. According to BBC Sport's Chelsea reporter Nizaar Kinsella, insiders maintain that if City does not act on Friday, the opportunity will be lost and Fernandez will remain with his club until the following summer. Last month, Real Madrid released a statement indicating they would not be signing Fernandez, which left City as the primary contender.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca said it is unlikely the club will meet Chelsea's ultimatum for Enzo Fernández and also expressed pessimism about the possibility of signing the player.

Discussions between Manchester City and Chelsea regarding Enzo Fernandez are in progress, and Chelsea is demanding £120m. Although Chelsea had established a 5pm deadline on Friday for interest in the midfielder, the prevailing understanding is that sufficient progress has been made in the talks. It is also understood that Manchester City will not completely advance with the matter until Rodri's future is resolved. This resolution is expected to occur after Chelsea’s deadline.

Chelsea have set a 5pm deadline on Friday for Manchester City to submit a bid for Enzo Fernandez and told potential buyers to pay their £120m asking price this week. Enzo Maresca indicated that Manchester City will not buy Enzo Fernandez before the deadline but said he wants to continue spending this summer.

Chelsea have set a deadline of 5 pm on Friday for Manchester City to reach an agreement for Enzo Fernandez. If an agreement is not reached, he will remain at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's valuation for Enzo Fernandez is £120m. On Friday morning, Chelsea confirmed that no offers had been received for the player and insisted that their 5 pm deadline remains. Fraser Fletcher revealed on August 7 that Manchester City are planning to make a bid for Enzo Fernandez after learning he would be keen to reunite with Enzo Maresca. Bailey stated that Manchester City are currently the only club likely to attempt to sign Enzo. While Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid have shown interest at some point, none are close to making an offer.

According to César Luis Merlo, Manchester City will submit an offer of 120 million euros to Chelsea for Enzo Fernández today. Gianluca Di Marzio also confirms that an offer of this size is imminent. Chelsea had previously set a deadline for an offer that meets the London club's demands to be submitted by 6 p.m. today. The club wants 140 million euros for the sale of the Argentine international.

According to Nicolo Schira, Manchester City have offered €120M to Chelsea for Enzo Fernandez. Chelsea are seeking €140M, and talks are ongoing.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Manchester City have made an offer for Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have communicated over the last 48 hours that Enzo Fernandez will stay at the club unless Manchester City pays £120m today. The club's position is a net payment of £120m by 5 pm UK time on Friday, otherwise there will be no deal. Manchester City has been in direct contact with the player's representatives in the last 24 hours, and there have been genuine discussions with his side. Chelsea states they have not received an official £120m bid and would not accept a €120m offer. Because conversations with the player's side continue, the deal remains a possibility.

According to journalist Cesar Luis Merlo, Manchester City have submitted a £102.5 million bid for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez. The offer was lodged with just over 24 hours remaining of an ultimatum issued by Chelsea. According to The Athletic, Chelsea informed City that they have until 5.00 pm on Friday to offer £120m or they would not be able to sign Fernandez this summer. The club's valuation is based on the fees paid for Elliot Anderson (£116m) and Sandro Tonali (£100m) this summer. Fernandez has not publicly requested to leave or submitted a transfer request and spoke to manager Xabi Alonso earlier this summer.

Chelsea have not yet received any bids for Enzo Fernandez and, if Friday’s deadline passes without any formal offers, are not open to selling the midfielder until next summer at the earliest. It is believed that Manchester City are interested in Fernandez, and if he signed for them, he would reunite with the former Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca. It has been reported that City had made a £102.5m bid for Fernandez on Thursday and communicated it to Chelsea. According to Standard Sport, such reports are inaccurate and that Chelsea had received no bids for Fernandez as of 5pm on Thursday. Chelsea’s asking price is £120million net and includes further financial stipulations regarding payment terms. It is understood that these terms have been communicated to all potential buying clubs.

Ben Jacobs reports that all interested parties, which include Manchester City, have been informed that Enzo Fernandez is available. Chelsea requires a written bid of £120m-net, and the payment terms have been communicated privately. Chelsea has not yet received a bid for Enzo Fernandez. If a suitable bid is not received by the 17:00 deadline on Friday, Enzo Fernandez will stay at Chelsea until at least the summer of 2027.

Mundo Deportivo provides an update on Manchester City's interest in signing Enzo Fernández. According to various English media, any club that wants to sign the player must present 140 million euros. The main obstacle for Manchester City is that they have already spent 135 million euros on Elliot Anderson and are in advanced talks with Ayyoub Bouaddi for a sum that will exceed 100 million euros. The transfer speculation is linked to the potential departure of Rodri Hernández to Barça. Manchester City wants to receive between 70 and 80 million euros from this departure to fund the acquisition of Fernández. Recent information states that Barcelona's second offer for Rodri Hernández has been rejected. There have been public statements regarding a possible departure for Fernández and disagreements with Chelsea management, especially concerning the dismissal of Maresca. This situation could provoke his exit if Manchester City meets Chelsea's demands.

According to ESPN, Chelsea has set a deadline of 5 p.m. next Friday for Manchester City to submit an offer of at least £120 million for Enzo Fernández. The report states that Chelsea will not consider any offer made after the deadline, as they want to end speculation about the Argentine's future. ESPN also learned that City are monitoring Fernández and appear to be a more likely destination. The Manchester team is willing to proceed with the deal if Barcelona agrees to pay £68 million for the defensive midfielder.

Team Talk reports that Chelsea have indicated their Friday deadline for Enzo Fernandez does not mean they have ruled out selling the Argentinian international. The same report states that Manchester City are interested in a move for the player.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Chelsea has set a strict deadline for a potential transfer of Enzo Fernández to Manchester City. According to the report, Chelsea requires Manchester City to finalize the transfer before Friday at 18:00 Netherlands time, otherwise the club will not cooperate with the Argentine international's departure. The report states that Manchester City has been in talks with Fernández's camp for several days, but a personal agreement has not yet been reached. Chelsea's asking price is set at £120 million, which is approximately €140 million. If Manchester City fails to provide the required transfer fee and reach an agreement with Fernández's camp before the deadline, Chelsea will not cooperate with a transfer. Fernández is under contract at Chelsea until 2032.

Ben Jacobs reported that Chelsea have set a deadline of 17:00 on Friday for Manchester City to sign Enzo Fernandez. The £120m price is only valid until that time. Manchester City have been informed and are keen on the Argentine midfielder. Chelsea want to have a settled squad by the start of the season.

Sources with knowledge of the discussions told FootballTransfers that Enzo Fernandez has already agreed personal terms with Manchester City. The Argentina international is seeking to leave Chelsea this summer after growing frustrated with the club's lack of competitiveness. His agent Javier Pastore said that Chelsea made an underwhelming contract extension offer last season. Fernandez feels this is the correct time to leave the club, particularly with Chelsea not in Europe this season. His desired transfer to Real Madrid did not happen, forcing him to consider other options, and Man City may now be the only option at this point. There have been links with Fernandez since it became clear that Enzo Maresca would be at Man City. The main difficulty Man City face is agreeing on a transfer fee with Chelsea. Discussions between the clubs are ongoing in an attempt to reach an agreement, though a positive outcome is not guaranteed. Reports have claimed that Chelsea are demanding up to €140 million for the player, who has six years remaining on his contract. Chelsea's capacity to sign a replacement will also be a factor in whether a deal can be agreed.

TEAMtalk sources close to the situation report that Enzo Fernandez wants to move to Manchester City this summer. People familiar with the talks believe a deal can be completed for £100 million. This amount is £20 million below Chelsea’s current asking price. Manchester City have been monitoring Fernandez’s situation and are exploring whether an agreement can be reached at that valuation. TEAMtalk has reported that Manchester City are prepared to make a move for Fernandez, but only if Rodri leaves. There are continuing talks for Barcelona to bring Rodri to Camp Nou. Chelsea have informed Manchester City that a formal bid must be submitted soon, or the opportunity to sign Fernandez will be withdrawn. According to sources, Chelsea remain firm on their valuation but recognize that £100 million would still be a significant fee. Those close to the negotiations believe a deal is achievable if Manchester City acts quickly with a formal offer in the region of £100 million.

Ben Jacobs reported that Chelsea could lower their demands for Enzo Fernandez between the new season beginning and the summer window closing. In contrast, Fabrizio Romano reported that there is no possibility for Chelsea to reduce their asking price, and that the club are expected to create difficulties for Manchester City because of the acrimonious relationship between the two clubs. Romano also stated that if the price remains at £120m, the deal can still be considered complicated, and Chelsea want a final, non-negotiable decision in a few days.

Manchester City admire both Argentina internationals, Alexis Mac Allister and Enzo Fernandez, but the Chelsea player is manager Enzo Maresca’s preferred option. According to an update from Romano, Chelsea will create difficulties for City due to a poor relationship between the two clubs stemming from Maresca’s departure to the Etihad.

Contacts have taken place between Enzo Fernandez's agent, Javier Pastore, and Manchester City. Manchester City conveyed their interest in Fernandez, and manager Enzo Maresca has indicated the player as a potential target in internal discussions. Chelsea want £120m, but Manchester City are not expected to spend this amount and hope for negotiation. The deal could be a possibility for Manchester City if Chelsea reduces the price in the next few days. If the price remains at £120m, the deal is considered complicated. Chelsea's stance is that their position is non-negotiable and must be decided on within a few days, as they do not want to negotiate close to the end of the transfer window.

Manchester City are reportedly pursuing Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández for a summer transfer, a move that manager Enzo Maresca would love to see happen. For Fernández, a transfer could be the opportunity to leave that he has been seeking since a public disagreement with the Chelsea hierarchy. The disagreement reportedly followed a two-game suspension he received for comments about a potential transfer last season.

Fabrizio Romano has stated that Manchester City have already made contact with Enzo Fernández's camp concerning a potential transfer. It is reported that a deal is dependent on Chelsea's valuation. Chelsea is asking for a £120m fee and would be happy to retain Enzo, while Manchester City hope to negotiate as the deal hinges on the price.

According to a report from @talkSPORT, Manchester City and Enzo Maresca appreciate Enzo Fernandez. Chelsea's £120m valuation for the player remains. The club has not received any offers for Fernandez over the past 60 days, and their focus is on the new season and on finalizing the first-team squad.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea expect Enzo Fernandez to remain at the club this summer despite interest from Manchester City. The Athletic understands Man City boss Enzo Maresca would be keen on a reunion with Fernandez, should Tijjani Reijnders leave the Etihad Stadium. Maresca and Fernandez worked together at Chelsea and are believed to share a strong relationship. The Athletic claims that with the new Premier League season less than two weeks away, the Blues are now planning to retain Fernandez. The same outlet understands Chelsea previously valued the Argentina star at €140million (£120m), but that valuation is unlikely to remain the case.

Chelsea have listed Enzo Fernandez as available for sale with a desired fee of £120m. According to BBC Sport, Fernandez is among the players who can leave Stamford Bridge. Manchester City are targeting Fernandez and Malo Gusto, and the potential sale of both players could total £195m.

According to Spanish newspaper Marca and Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Enzo Fernández is among Manchester City's main options as a potential replacement for Rodri. According to Di Marzio, Enzo Fernández is the signing coach Enzo Maresca most desires for reinforcing the midfield. Marca reports that Fernández would be willing to consider a move to Manchester and that Chelsea would be open to negotiating for the player if a satisfactory offer is received. The operation is considered complex. Enzo Fernández is an important player for Chelsea, which paid 121 million euros for him in January 2023. At this time, there is no information about an official offer from Manchester City.

90min reports that there is a potential transfer of Enzo Fernandez to Man City and states the asking price for the player is $161.4 million.

Manchester City are considering a move for Enzo Fernandez, and sources insist the club is a potential destination for the player. City manager Enzo Maresca has admired Fernandez for a long time and has internally made his appreciation for the midfielder clear. Director of football Hugo Viana is aware of the manager's desire to add another elite central midfielder if circumstances permit. City believe there would be room in their squad for a player of Fernandez’s calibre if an opportunity arises, according to TEAMtalk. A deal for both Fernandez and the £85m-rated Bouaddi could have a combined cost for City of £200m.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca remains interested in a potential transfer for Enzo Fernandez, who is known to want to leave Chelsea. According to some sources, Chelsea wants up to £120m for the player, though Manchester City would like to negotiate for a fee below £100m. The deal has not progressed at this time, but contacts might accelerate soon, and the potential move may be linked to Rodri's future at Manchester City.

Despite claims that Man City have begun gathering information on Enzo Fernandez, Fabrizio Romano insists that they are not looking into a deal. Romano stated that his understanding is that Manchester City are not in conversation for Fernandez and that at the moment, the situation is cold between the player and Man City.

According to Gianluigi Longari, both Arsenal and Manchester City are attempting to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández, who has been publicly turned down by Real Madrid.

Gianluigi Longari reported that Manchester City are interested in Enzo Fernandez and are gathering information about him.

Sources at Manchester City have privately indicated they are distancing themselves from Enzo Fernandez. Chelsea have been willing to listen to offers for the midfielder if their £120m valuation is met, but have not actively tried to sell him. His agent, Javier Pastore, has publicly discussed Fernandez's future, suggesting he is underpaid at Chelsea and indicating that a failure to qualify for the Champions League could become an issue.

90min speculates about Enzo Fernandez’s potential reunion with former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca at Manchester City, and notes that this seems unlikely as City have already committed £116 million on another midfielder in Elliot Anderson.

In an interview with Marca, Enzo Fernandez's agent, Javier Pastore, confirmed that he is working to arrange for his client to leave, but stated that nothing is definitive or confirmed with any club. Manchester City has been reported as one of the two primary clubs interested in Fernandez. Chelsea has reportedly set Fernandez's asking price at 140 million euros, which is 20 million euros more than the amount the club paid in January 2023.

According to Fichajes, incoming Man City manager Enzo Maresca will be provided with a budget of $336 million (£250 million) and is planning to make moves for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández.

Enzo Fernández wants to leave Chelsea this summer and has reportedly been making efforts to force a departure for several months. Real Madrid, PSG, and Manchester City have begun to examine the situation. According to the BBC, Chelsea have set an asking price of £120 million (€138 million) for Enzo Fernández. Chelsea would prefer to sell the player to a club outside the Premier League to avoid making a rival team stronger.

Manchester City have denied their interest in Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez. Numerous outlets, including Sky Sports, have been briefed by Man City that the links with Fernandez are inaccurate. Despite the impending arrival of Enzo Maresca, City claim that they have no interest in Fernandez.

The £117m Argentine Enzo Fernandez is not currently part of Manchester City's summer transfer plans, despite a bond between him and Maresca and a potential need for the club to make multiple midfield signings.

According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, a potential move to Manchester City for Enzo Fernandez has quickly become a tangible possibility. It is reported that Enzo Maresca has a strong desire to sign Fernandez, whom he views as a unique tactical profile that Manchester City currently lack. Fernandez is widely expected to leave Chelsea during the upcoming window and there is a high probability he will leave, with Manchester City being a strong contender.

According to Si Phillips, his sources indicate that Enzo Fernandez is set to leave Chelsea this summer. It is understood that Fernandez is keen to reunite and play for Enzo Maresca again. Maresca is taking over from Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Chelsea will not consider a sale this summer that would result in a book loss and must sell Fernandez for a minimum of £62.8m to avoid registering one. The player signed an 8.5-year contract when he joined from Benfica for £106.8m in January 2023. On Chelsea’s accounts, approximately £44m of that fee has been amortized over three-and-a-half years. The club may demand a price much higher than £62.8m but will not sell for less than that amount. Chelsea finished in 10th position in the Premier League and will not have European football next season.

According to Ben Jacobs, Enzo Fernandez made a gesture to Chelsea fans after the defeat to Sunderland that could be interpreted as a goodbye. Some informal and formative talks have taken place with Manchester City. Fernandez wants to play in the Champions League, and Chelsea's poor season weakens their position to persuade him to sign a new deal. However, Chelsea will not consider a sale this summer for a book loss.

According to The Independent, Manchester City and Enzo Maresca are also interested in signing Enzo Fernandez if Rodri leaves. Fernandez has maintained a good relationship with Maresca since they were together at Chelsea. Chelsea's preference is to sell Enzo Fernandez to a foreign club instead of an English rival.

Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany reported that initial private talks have occurred for Enzo Fernandez, who is one of Manchester City’s desired transfer targets for the summer. The player is strongly wanted by Enzo Maresca. Fernandez is under contract with Chelsea until 2032, which provides the club with a strong negotiating position. It is stated that Chelsea's asking price would be more than the £106.8m they paid for Fernandez. A potential transfer could establish new transfer records for both Manchester City and Chelsea, and might also break the existing Premier League record.

Enzo Fernandez is nearing an exit from Chelsea, and reports suggest there is a strong possibility his final appearance for the club will be against Sunderland on Sunday afternoon. Real Madrid, Man City, and Paris Saint-Germain are interested clubs that would be required to pay a considerable amount to sign the 25-year-old before the start of next season, which could be an obstacle. Chelsea are likely to demand a fee significantly higher than his Estimated Transfer Value of €91.3m.

According to ESPN, Enzo Fernandez is considering a transfer to Manchester City to be coached again by Enzo Maresca, with whom he had a positive experience during their time together in London. The move is described as complicated due to Fernandez's contract with Chelsea until 2032 and his valuation, which is around but likely above 100 million euros. The decision will also depend on the opinion of the new Chelsea coach, Xabi Alonso. It is reported that Alonso regards Fernandez as a key player. New developments regarding Fernandez's future are expected only after a meeting between him and Alonso.

According to TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent, Fraser Fletcher, Manchester City are interested in a 2026 summer deal for Enzo Fernandez.

In March, Enzo Fernandez admitted that Maresca’s Chelsea exit hurt him and said he did not understand the decision. Fernandez is the most likely to depart, and that will only happen if he strongly pursues a transfer. Reports have suggested that Chelsea would consider offers worth £87-100m.

Manchester City are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez this summer. They have become new contenders to sign him following confirmation that Bernardo Silva will leave the club this summer.

Manchester City appreciate Enzo Fernandez and are looking at his situation, although a move is not currently considered likely. Elliot Anderson remains their top target. It is unlikely Chelsea would be willing to sell a key player to a major rival, and City are likely aware of that.

Manchester City have a high opinion of Enzo Fernandez and consider him a suitable addition to refresh their midfield, particularly following potential exits. Graeme Bailey reported on April 24 that City have identified Fernandez as an alternative to Sandro Tonali, who is prioritising a return to Italy this summer.

Manchester City have added Enzo Fernandez to their list of potential transfer targets for this summer. Chelsea would be willing to approve a sale if they receive a suitable offer. It is expected that The Blues will demand a fee close to the €121 million they paid to sign him from Benfica in January 2023.

El Nacional, cited by multiple additional sources, claims that Manchester City are seriously monitoring Enzo Fernández, but that Fernández has ruled out moving to any club other than Real Madrid.

The Athletic reports that Manchester City is seriously considering a move for Enzo Fernández this summer. The interest from City is still in an early stage and there has not been any initial approach or bid. Fernández has a contract at Chelsea until 2032, and his price is expected to be around 90 million euro.

According to ESPN Argentina journalist Gustavo Yarroch, Enzo Maresca wants to reunite with Enzo Fernandez at Manchester City if Maresca becomes the manager. Yarroch stated that if that were to happen and Enzo Maresca arrived as Manchester City manager, he also has an interest in Enzo Fernandez. Fernandez was recently handed an internal two-match suspension by Chelsea due to his public expressions of interest in Real Madrid. TEAMtalk understands the player's enforced absence from the team exacerbated a rift between senior Chelsea players and Rosenior. Instead of joining Real Madrid, Fernandez could now stay in England by joining Maresca at Man City. Given Fernandez cost £106.8m, is under contract until 2032, is now a better player than when he arrived, and Chelsea would be selling to a domestic rival, any move to the Etihad would break City’s all-time transfer record.

According to 90min, Manchester City were listed among the clubs that could pursue Enzo Fernandez this summer following his comments about his future at Chelsea. The report states that City may soon need a Bernardo Silva replacement, and that the possibility of signing Fernandez could increase if Pep Guardiola departs and is replaced by Enzo Maresca, who formerly managed the player at Chelsea.

According to reports from Spain, Enzo Fernandez is restless at Chelsea and is prepared to seek a departure in the summer. Manchester City have already begun strategic moves to sign the player, who is a target for them. Pep Guardiola has a high opinion of Enzo Fernandez and believes he would be a quality addition. Chelsea values Fernandez at approximately €150 million, and it is not known whether Manchester City is prepared to pay for him.

Chelsea's 25-year-old Argentine central midfielder Enzo Fernández is reportedly the subject of interest from up to five clubs. According to Simon Phillips via Substack, sources expect there is a 99% chance Fernández will leave Stamford Bridge at the end of this season. The report mentioned Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Al Hilal, and Al Nassr as the interested clubs, and the player could ask to leave as he is seemingly unsettled.
