Chelsea preparing for fresh Enzo Fernandez bid from Manchester City as deadline nears
Chelsea are said to be preparing for Manchester City to push once more to land the signature of Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez, ahead of the September 1 deadline
Manchester City is reportedly preparing to make a renewed offer for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, following the expiration of Chelsea's deadline of August 14 for a £120 million ($163.6 million) asking price. The Argentine player's future at Chelsea has been uncertain this summer, after emerging as a target for Manchester City's new manager, Enzo Maresca.
Chelsea has made it clear that they have no intention of selling Fernandez, despite City potentially submitting one final bid. Fernandez has been unsettled at Chelsea since being dropped last season due to his interest in Real Madrid, according to The Mirror. Recently, Fulham fans jeered him during his first Premier League appearance as a substitute, while Chelsea fans chanted his name in support.
Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso stated that he is seeking resolution over Fernandez's future this week. Manchester City has already spent £116 million ($155.2 million) on Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, and they require additional reinforcements in central midfield.
