The transfer saga surrounding Argentinian midfielder Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea has taken a fresh turn. Despite earlier deadline expirations, Manchester City are set to submit an official offer for the 25-year-old, making him an absolute priority in the closing days of the transfer window.
Leading the charge for the transfer is City manager Enzo Maresca, who is well-acquainted with Fernandez's capabilities from their time together in London and is pushing the club hierarchy to facilitate the deal. The departures of Rodri to Barcelona and the impending transfer of Nico Gonzalez to Newcastle have created the necessary financial space and roster spots for this significant acquisition.
Fernandez has openly expressed his desire to reunite with Maresca at Etihad Stadium. However, Chelsea's stance remains firm: the London side are demanding over £120 million for their star midfielder and will only consider parting ways if they secure a suitable replacement in the middle of the park first.
