Negotiations surrounding the transfer of Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City have reached a fever pitch as the transfer window closes.
Fernandez's representative and agent, Javier Pastore, is pressing Chelsea for immediate permission for the player to undergo a medical examination to complete the move to the Citizens. However, the London club has firmly refused to grant consent, blocking the midfielder's departure.
Chelsea's hierarchy remains unwavering in their stance: the club will only allow their World Cup champion to leave once Manchester City meets their financial demands. The Blues are insisting on a full payment of £140 million upfront, without any instalments.
Enzo Fernandez, maintaining a public silence, has refrained from making any statements or comments to the media. Currently, he is sidelined from Chelsea's matches and is waiting for the resolution of the tense negotiations between the two clubs.
Should the record-breaking deal go through, agent Javier Pastore could rake in a hefty commission of around €25 million.
