Man City sign Fernandez, Ndiaye as Premier League clubs set new spending record
Manchester City spent £125 million on Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez and signed Senegal forward Iliman Ndiaye from Everton for £65 million.
Manchester City bolstered their squad on deadline day, shattering the Premier League transfer record by spending £125 million on Argentine Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea. England international Elliot Anderson and Moroccan Ayyoub Bouaddi also joined City in a deal valued at over £200 million. City's acquisition of Fernandez, who previously thrived under Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, aims to revamp their midfield alongside Anderson and Bouaddi.
Senegal forward Iliman Ndiaye completed the signing for £65 million, bolstering City's forward options. Meanwhile, Chelsea's bid to replace Fernandez with Monaco's Lamine Camara fell through, while Liverpool struggled to sign Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr and Brighton's Yankuba Minteh, leading to Cody Gakpo staying at Anfield. Liverpool did sign Belgium forward Bradley Barcola for £123 million, but the 18-year-old will be loaned back to Genk.
Liverpool also signed Belgian goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans, who will remain on loan at Genk. Newcastle added Belgian forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo from Lille for £51 million.
