Manchester City have launched formal negotiations with Chelsea to sign midfielder Enzo Fernandez. The 25-year-old Argentina international, who netted 10 goals in the Premier League for the Blues last season, is reportedly open to making the switch to the Etihad Stadium.
The potential transfer is shaping up to be one of the most significant moves of the summer deadline. It is understood that Chelsea are holding out for a minimum fee of £120m, with both clubs currently engaged in active discussions to determine a final price for the player.
A key factor in the pursuit is the existing relationship between the two parties; Fernandez previously worked under current Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca during the Italian’s tenure at Chelsea. Maresca is eager to reunite with the midfielder, setting the stage for what could be a high-profile transfer before the window closes.
