Manchester City is seeking deals for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez and Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye on transfer deadline day. The Argentine World Cup winner Fernandez was dropped from Chelsea's squad, potentially signaling his departure, with Chelsea reportedly demanding a minimum of £120m to retain his services. The Italian manager Enzo Maresca, who previously worked with Fernandez at Chelsea, is keen to have him join Manchester City.
However, City will need to break their transfer record of £116m paid for striker Elliot Anderson earlier this summer and the £86m spent on Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille. Everton has agreed to a £65m deal for Ndiaye, including £5m in add-ons, drawing from his impressive 17 goals in 74 appearances since joining Marseille in 2024. The Senegalese forward is expected to be a significant loss to Everton.
