According to Sam Lee's summary for the Athletic, Chelsea had three players that Manchester City showed interest in during the summer transfer window. Out of these three, only one player ultimately made the move. Interestingly, Chelsea had the opportunity to make several additional deals with their Premier League rivals, Manchester City.
The Athletic reports that former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca had two other major targets in mind for the transfer window - Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto. Manchester City showed significant interest in both players but decided against pursuing either due to Chelsea's high asking prices. Malo Gusto was seen as an ideal option for Chelsea's right-back position, while Pedro Neto was extensively scouted by City and deemed a promising winger.
Despite the interest from both clubs, Chelsea ultimately paid for only one of the players, Enzo Fernandez, concluding a successful summer window for the English champions.
