According to the Mirror, Manchester City are pursuing Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandes, who may transfer at the end of the summer transfer window .
Chelsea will demand a record-breaking transfer fee if they sell Enzo Fernandes to Manchester City. City hope to sign the Chelsea midfielder before Tuesday's transfer deadline, and Fernandes also wants to reunite with Enzo Maresca. However, Chelsea's asking price exceeds his initial £120 million price tag, and any deal would break the record. Chelsea's asking price is expected to be around £130 million. While both City and Fernandes want the deal done, Chelsea are also looking for alternatives. There is strong optimism that the transfer will be completed, but Fernandes could now be the biggest spender of the window. City previously spent £116 million on Morgan Rodgers, which Chelsea subsequently signed for £117 million, breaking the record. Arsenal are also monitoring Julian Alvarez, offering over £120 million, but Fernandes' fee would be even higher. Argentine World Cup winner Bruno Fernandes joined Chelsea in January 2023 for £106 million. He was also linked with Real Madrid last summer, but the Spanish giants maintained they had no interest. Fernandes has become public enemy number one for opposing fans, but he hopes to reunite with Maresca at Manchester City. The two achieved great success together at Chelsea, winning European titles, the Club World Cup, and returning to the Champions League. However, this deal is clearly complicated, as Chelsea have little time to find a replacement. Chelsea have listed Alex Scott as their top target, but Bournemouth insist they will not sell. Martin Zubimendy has also been linked with Chelsea, but Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has stated he will not leave. Real Madrid's Camavinga is also a target, and Chelsea are close to signing Emiliano Martinez, while still searching for a defender.
