Manchester City Signs Chelsea Midfielder Enzo Fernandez for Record-Equalling £125 Million
Manchester City has agreed a British record-equalling £125 million deal to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez on deadline day. The 25-year-old Argentina international, who joined Chelsea from Benfica in 2023 for a then-record fee, had a strained relationship with Chelsea fans and was left out of recent matches by manager Xabi Alonso. Fernandez reunites with manager Enzo Maresca at City amid a midfield rebuild following several departures. The transfer matches Liverpool's record fee for Alexander Isak and reflects City's significant summer spending.
