15-Second Brief
Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is keen to join Manchester City. The Blues are ready to lower their asking price to £100 million but have set a firm deadline for the deal to be finalised, ensuring Xabi Alonso can prepare his squad for the new season.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has made it known that he wishes to further his career at Manchester City. The Blues are prepared to compromise, allowing the 25-year-old to leave for £100 million, which is £20 million below their original demands.

Key details of the potential transfer:

  • Deal conditions: Chelsea is willing to let the player go for £100 million to avoid a protracted transfer saga as the window approaches its end.
  • Rodri's replacement: Fernandez's move hinges on the future of Rodri, with Barcelona in negotiations regarding the Spaniard. The signing of Monaco's Ayub Buaddi for £85 million will not impact the transfer of the Argentine.
  • Deadline from the Blues: Chelsea's hierarchy is urging Manchester City to submit an official offer swiftly. Should they fail to do so, the option to sell will be closed, as new head coach Xabi Alonso seeks clarity ahead of the season preparations.
