  "account": "Enzo Fernandez has transferred from Chelsea to Manchester City for £125 million, breaking the British transfer record previously held by Liverpool who signed Alexander Isak for the same amount last year. The Argentina international signed a five-year contract with Manchester City, reuniting with his former manager Enzo Maresca at the Etihad Stadium. Chelsea's decision to let Fernandez leave came after Monaco pulled out of a deal to sell Lamine Camara, who was expected to join for £47 million. Chelsea honored its commitment to Fernandez despite the Camara deal falling through. Monacos' withdrawal was attributed to the collapse of another transfer involving Folarin Balogun. Fernandez expressed his excitement to join Manchester City, one of England's most successful clubs, and his commitment to helping the team continue winning trophies.",
