Man City agree £125m British record deal to sign Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez
Manchester City have agreed to sign Chelsea’s Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez for a package worth around £125 million, matching the British transfer record. Chelsea have granted Fernandez permission to undergo a medical and complete the move to their Premier League rivals, with the deal expected to be finalised before the transfer window closes at 11 pm, though clubs can submit deal sheets for an extra two hours if needed.
The fee makes Fernandez the most expensive British signing ever, underlining City’s intent to strengthen their midfield ahead of the new season. For Chelsea, the loss of their World Cup‑winning midfielder means they are now actively seeking a replacement, having been linked with Roma’s Manu Kone, Monaco’s Lamine Camara and other Premier League options.
City fans can expect Fernandez to bolster their midfield options, while Chelsea supporters will watch how quickly the club can secure a suitable successor. Will this record fee propel City to a title challenge, or will Chelsea’s midfield rebuild leave them vulnerable?
