Enzo Fernandez has expressed his feelings following his £125 million transfer from Chelsea to Manchester City. Some fans of the London club have taken issue with the Argentine's comments regarding the stature of his new team.
Fernandez stated:
I’ve always dreamed of playing for a big club like Manchester City. This is a dream transfer for me. I’m truly happy.
While the midfielder did not directly compare City with Chelsea or critique his former club, his comments about wanting to play for a club of this magnitude have sparked mixed reactions among some of the Blues' supporters. Many have expressed their dissatisfaction on social media.
Fernandez departed Chelsea after three and a half years at Stamford Bridge. In recent months, the future of the 25-year-old player has been a hot topic, with his relationship with some fans markedly deteriorating.
At Manchester City, Fernandez will reunite with Enzo Maresca, under whom he previously played at Chelsea. The £125 million transfer has matched Britain’s record for the highest transfer fee.
