Manchester City manager Enzo Mareska has confirmed his desire to bolster his squad with a player who possesses leadership qualities ahead of the summer transfer window's deadline.
This summer, the Citizens have bid farewell to several key veterans, including Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Nathan Ake, and Rodri. In their season opener against Bournemouth, which ended 2-1 in City's favour, Mareska fielded the youngest starting XI the club has put out on the opening weekend of a season since 2008. As a result, the Italian is keen to inject more experience and authority into his team.
According to reports from ESPN, City are preparing to submit an official offer to Chelsea for midfielder Enzo Fernandez, who wore the captain's armband for the London side last season.
We have experienced players,
said Mareska.
Of course, we have leaders. Now we just need to wait another four or five days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add another one or two captains alongside Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland, who are currently fulfilling that role. In this transfer window, anything can happen. We'll see. It’s just four or five days away.
