What if Enzo Fernandez had played his last match for Chelsea last weekend against Fulham? Coming into play under the whistles of English supporters, those of the Cottagers as well as those of the Blues, the midfielder is in the process of being transferred to Manchester City. According to information from the Argentinian media Tyc Sportsthe two clubs found common ground. The 25-year-old player will be the subject of a transaction estimated at €140 million, the amount that the Skyblues were preparing a little less than 48 hours ago.
This offer was obviously enough to convince his counterpart in London. It must be said that there was no longer any real obstacle in this file once the required proposal arrived on the management’s desk. The reigning vice-world champion has wanted to leave the club for several months now, annoyed by the poor results of his team, of which he is nevertheless the vice-captain after Reece James. He has long hoped for Real Madrid, but it is ultimately Manchester City that he will land.
A contract until 2032
A lesser evil, especially since he will find Enzo Maresca there. The new Citizens coach took over from Pep Guardiola and made his former player at Chelsea one of his priorities to rebuild his midfield. The departures of Bernardo Silva and Rodri mainly, but also of Tijjani Reijnders, forced the club to recruit in number and quality. After Elliot Anderson at the start of the transfer window, and Ayyoub Bouaddi yesterday, Enzo Fernandez will complete this very high level trio.
The series took a long time to wrap up. Initially, Chelsea resisted by setting the €140 million mark and imposing an unofficial deadline. This limit has been exceeded for ten days now but City have decided to go on the attack again after a first offer estimated at €120 million. The second was the right one. Arriving in January 2023 from Benfica for around €120 million, the Argentinian is once again the subject of a huge transfer. He should commit in the coming days until 2032, assures Tyc Sports.
