Manchester City agree Enzo Fernandez deal with Chelsea

Manchester City have reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign midfielder Enzo Fernandez for £125million.The package for Fernandez equals the existing British transfer record set by Liverpool’s purchase of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United last summer, a move that was also completed late in the transfer window.City’s deal for Fernandez brings to an end what has been a drawn-out saga surrounding the 25-year-old and his future at Chelsea.The west London club had indicated on August 14 that they expected Fernandez to stay for the 2026-27 season after their self-imposed deadline passed without City making a bid.Chelsea valued Fernandez at £120m and insisted at the time that if they did not receive an offer of that figure inside the outlined timeframe, he would not leave the club this summer
