Man City New Boy Fernandez Takes Swipe at Chelsea

On deadline day, Manchester City signed midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea in a British record-equalling £125m deal, completing the transfer close to the 11pm deadline after intense negotiations.
Chelsea demanded £135m for the player as late as Monday, but City refused to meet that price after the London club's original August 14 deadline for offers had passed.
Reunited with former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, the 25-year-old midfielder claimed he always dreamed of playing for "a club as big as Manchester City," expressing gratitude for the opportunity.
Fernandez completes a £326m midfield refit following signings of Elliot Anderson for £116m and Ayyoub Bouaddi for £85m, while Rodri and John Stones are among departures reshaping the squad.
City has won 20 trophies in the past 10 years, and Fernandez intends to spearhead the challenge for more, stating, "Manchester City have to win every trophy they compete for.
