Manchester City reach agreement with Enzo Fernández for Chelsea move

Manchester City have reached an agreement with Enzo Fernández to join the club. The midfielder has already agreed to terms with the Premier League side, though negotiations between the two clubs remain ongoing.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca is driving the pursuit of the Argentina international. The midfielder was a frequent starter under Maresca at Chelsea, where he recorded 15 goals and 17 assists across 79 appearances. Maresca is reportedly determined to secure the player's signature for the Etihad.

While a personal agreement is in place, the clubs are currently stuck on the transfer fee. Chelsea is demanding £120m (€140.4m) for the 25-year-old. Manchester City has submitted an offer, but the figure remains below the amount requested by the West London club.

Despite this discrepancy in valuation, Manchester City remains optimistic about the transfer. The club believes Chelsea may eventually lower their asking price to facilitate the move. This follows reports that the player's agent, Javier Pastore, confirmed the midfielder's intention to depart Chelsea this summer.

Chelsea is currently preparing for squad changes, including the expected sale of Tijjani Reijnders to Al-Qadsiah. Manchester City must navigate the ongoing negotiations ahead of Chelsea's Friday deadline for receiving a formal bid.
