DEADLINE DAY LIVE: Manchester City open talks with Chelsea over Fernandez deal
Manchester City are seeking a late midfield boost as Chelsea hold out for a £120 million fee for the Argentina international.
On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, Manchester City opened negotiations with Chelsea to sign Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez, with reports indicating a potential £120 million fee.
City manager Enzo Maresca is driving this reunion following high-profile midfield exits, including Rodri to Barcelona and Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid.
Elsewhere, Everton looks set to sign USA striker Folarin Balogun from Monaco, while Tottenham defender Kevin Danso is reportedly joining Sunderland on loan for around £25 million.
Premier League clubs face an 11 p.m. BST deadline today, requiring teams to submit fully completed deal sheets to finalize registrations before the window closes.
Once the deadline passes, clubs cannot register new players until the winter window opens in January 2027, though free agents remain eligible for registration.
