Fabrizio Romano: Manchester City could still move for Chelsea star

Manchester City remains a potential buyer for Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez as the summer transfer window nears its conclusion, according to transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano. In his latest market update, Romano emphasized that City's interest in Fernandez has not waned, despite the approaching deadline. "Manchester City are still thinking of Enzo Fernandez in midfield," Romano stated, reinforcing his earlier claims that the club remains committed to pursuing the Chelsea star.

With Barcelona reportedly on the verge of completing a deal to sign midfielder Ilkay Gündogan, Romano highlighted the urgency and competitiveness of the transfer market. He noted that City's pursuit of Fernandez is based on concrete interest, not mere speculation, as the club is actively exploring ways to secure his signature. Romano explained that while Manchester City can express their desire and pressure Chelsea, they ultimately lack control over the negotiation process.

"It's going to be important to understand more on this story because it’s on Chelsea to decide the price," Romano remarked, underscoring the pivotal role that Chelsea will play in determining the final outcome of the potential transfer.
