Manchester City have reportedly stepped up their interest in Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández, with the move potentially becoming one of the biggest stories of this transfer window.
City are exploring the possibility of bringing the Argentine midfielder to the Etihad, while Chelsea are believed to be demanding around £120 million before considering a sale.
The interest is particularly intriguing because City manager Enzo Maresca already knows Fernández well. Maresca worked with him at Chelsea and is reportedly keen on the possibility of being reunited with the midfielder.
Fernández remains an important player for Chelsea, and the club are not actively pushing him out. Chelsea’s position is essentially clear: if City want him, they would have to meet their huge valuation.
For City, the situation could become more complicated if Rodri’s expected move to Barcelona goes through. Losing such an important midfield presence would create a major vacancy, making Fernández an obvious candidate to help reshape the position.
However, City are reportedly reluctant to pay the full £120 million asking price. That leaves the potential transfer in a difficult position, with negotiations likely to determine whether the story develops into something serious.
For now, Fernández remains a Chelsea player, but with City showing concrete interest and Chelsea setting a massive price, this could become one of the defining transfer battles of the final weeks of the window.
