Manchester City is rushing to finalize the signing of Enzo Fernández. According to reports, conversations with Chelsea have intensified in recent days, and the English club is looking to close the deal this week.
The Citizens' interest is not coincidental. The Argentine midfielder is eager to work again under the orders of Enzo Maresca, the coach who managed him in the past and is now leading the Manchester team's project. This reunion is seen as one of the main reasons for the player's push for the transfer.
However, Chelsea's financial demands have toughened. From an initial request close to 120 million euros, the Blues' management has raised the figure to 140 million euros to release the world champion. This increase complicates the agreement, although City has not given up.
Meanwhile, the sky blue team is advancing in another operation that directly impacts their midfield. Nico González is in the final stages of his departure, and all indications point to his next destination being Newcastle. The midfielder's exit is part of a deep restructuring of the squad that Maresca is seeking.
A negotiation marked by the player's desire
Enzo Fernández's willingness to join Maresca's project is one of the most significant factors at play right now. The Argentine is already familiar with the coach's playing style and sees City as an opportunity to make a quality leap in his career within the Premier League.
