Manchester City signs midfielder Enzo Fernández for 145 million euros

Manchester City has completed the acquisition of Enzo Fernández from Chelsea for a reported fee of 145 million euros. The 25-year-old midfielder joins the club after a stint at Chelsea under Enzo Maresca, who now manages the Manchester side. Fernández previously struggled with team discipline, including a suspension in early 2026 for public comments regarding a potential transfer to Real Madrid and controversy surrounding his conduct following Argentina’s Copa América victory. Despite his playmaking abilities and World Cup performance, questions remain regarding his consistency and off-pitch conduct. He reunites with Maresca, who previously coached him during their shared time at Chelsea, as he attempts to establish himself as a consistent performer in the Premier League. The transfer follows a period where the player saw limited recognition in Ballon d’Or voting despite his high transfer fee.
