Enzo Fernandez Transfer Saga: Latest Twist Suggests Chelsea Face Major Decision

Manchester City are expected to test Chelsea’s resolve with a record-level offer as Enzo Fernández pushes for a move, sources said.

  • On Thursday, Manchester City signed 18-year-old Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi for a fee valued at up to €100m, bolstering manager Enzo Maresca's midfield rebuild.
  • Midfield vacancies prompted this move following the departures of Rodri to Barcelona, Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid, and Tijjani Reijnders to Saudi Arabia's Al-Qadsiah.
  • Simultaneously, Manchester City continues pursuing Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, preparing a formal bid to meet the Blues' €120m valuation before September 1 deadline.
  • Manager Xabi Alonso remained noncommittal on Fernandez's future, though Chelsea has identified Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott as a potential replacement if the Argentine departs.
  • The transfer window closes September 1, forcing Chelsea to decide whether accepting €120m justifies losing Fernandez without a confirmed successor lined up first.
