Manchester City plans bid for Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez amid uncertainty

Summary

Manchester City is reportedly preparing to bid for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, as Enzo Maresca seeks to strengthen his squad. Despite Chelsea's previous £120 million asking price and self-imposed deadline passing, City believes there may be an opportunity to negotiate. Chelsea, however, remains committed to keeping Fernandez for the upcoming season. The prospects of a successful bid may hinge on whether City is willing to match the previous valuation. It is unclear if Chelsea will entertain a lower offer from City.
