David Ornstein from The Athletic has reported on USA Sports that Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez continues to be a target for Manchester City as the transfer window approaches its deadline. City manager Enzo Maresca is keen on the Argentine, but a potential deal hinges on Chelsea meeting two strict conditions from their hierarchy.
The insider highlighted some key points for possible negotiations as the September 1 deadline nears:
I think we need to keep a close eye on the situation surrounding Enzo Fernandez as the window closes, as Manchester City maintain a strong interest in him. Chelsea will let him go if the offer is right and they can find a replacement.
These are two very serious factors. So, a transfer is by no means guaranteed. However, the interest from Manchester City and Maresca in Enzo Fernandez is absolutely real, and I believe this could become one of the major storylines as we approach the September 1 deadline.
If the Manchester club meets the financial demands of Chelsea’s hierarchy and the Blues manage to secure a deal for a new defensive midfielder in time, the World Cup winner's transfer could become one of the most talked-about moves at the end of this Premier League transfer window.
