  "account": "Enzo Fernandez expressed his desire to join Manchester City, viewing it as a club on par with the Premier League title winners. The World Cup winner joined City for £125 million on deadline day, breaking the British transfer record. Previously, Fernandez had moved to Chelsea from Benfica in January 2023 for £107 million, helping the team secure two Champions League titles. Despite Chelsea's success in the Champions League, Fernandez noted the lack of competition for the Premier League title during his time at Stamford Bridge. The 25-year-old midfielder, who had pushed for the move, shared his emotions upon completing the transfer at the age of 25. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity and happiness in starting a new chapter at City. Fernandez emphasized that City must win every trophy they enter, citing the club's rich history as a guiding principle. He also praised the team City is building this season, stating it fills him with happiness. Reuniting with his former Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, Fernandez thanked the Italian for his role in making the transfer happen, despite it being a challenging decision for him. He acknowledged Maresca's efforts in communicating with the club, ultimately leading to his move to Manchester City.",
