Manchester City have reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign midfielder Enzo Fernandez for a 125 million pound fee. The move is set to match the British transfer record, equal to the sum Liverpool paid for Alexander Isak last summer. Fernandez missed Chelsea’s previous two matches as he pursued the transfer following a tumultuous period at Stamford Bridge. City’s total summer spending could reach approximately 430 million pounds if they also finalize the acquisition of Everton player Iliman Ndiaye. Chelsea continues to search for midfield replacements, specifically targeting Manu Kone from Roma and Lamine Camara from Monaco. Fernandez previously joined Chelsea from Benfica in January 2023 for 107 million pounds and registered 31 goals across 170 appearances for the club.
