Manchester City Agrees Record-Equalling £125 Million Deal for Chelsea Midfielder Enzo Fernandez
Manchester City has agreed a record-equalling £125 million deal to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez on deadline day. The 25-year-old Argentina international, who joined Chelsea in January 2023 for a British record fee, is set to reunite with Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca. Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso excluded Fernandez from recent squads amid transfer speculation. The deal matches the British transfer record previously set by Liverpool's signing of Alexander Isak. Chelsea will seek midfield replacements before finalizing the sale.
