EPL: Man City target Fernandez in £120m transfer move – Reports

Manchester City are reportedly in negotiations to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez for a reported £120 million. The 25-year-old Argentine has attracted significant interest from City as manager Enzo Maresca looks to strengthen his midfield following the departures of Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, and Nico Gonzalez. City, who recently signed Elliot Anderson for £116 million, are pursuing Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi in addition to their pursuit of Fernandez.

Chelsea has placed a £120 million valuation on Fernandez, but are reportedly open to a sale if they can secure a suitable replacement. Maresca, who previously worked with Fernandez at Chelsea, is understood to be keen on adding the midfielder to City's midfield. If City meet Chelsea's valuation, Fernandez could become one of the most expensive players in Premier League history.

However, the transfer will likely depend on Chelsea's ability to find a suitable replacement before the transfer window closes.
