Manchester City maintain pursuit of Enzo Fernandez as Chelsea raise price above £120m

Manchester City are showing a keen interest in 25-year-old Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea. Currently, there has been no direct agreement between the clubs regarding the transfer, according to Transfer News Live.

The previous deadline set by the London club, which fixed the price at £120m, has officially passed without any offer from the Citizens. Now, Chelsea's hierarchy are intent on demanding significantly more for their key midfielder.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are on the verge of concluding a deal for Lille midfielder Ayoub Bouaddli. However, the imminent signing of the young Frenchman does not rule out the possibility of City making a late bid for Fernandez before the transfer window closes.
