Chelsea are reportedly prepared to listen to offers for Enzo Fernandez from Manchester City, provided their valuation of the Argentina international is met before the summer transfer window closes.
Fernandez joined Chelsea from Benfica for a British-record £107 million in 2023 and has since established himself as an important figure in the Blues’ midfield. He featured in Chelsea’s opening Premier League fixture against Fulham but was left out of the squad for their Carabao Cup clash with Luton Town.
Manchester City have been monitoring the situation as they assess their midfield options, with Fernandez emerging as a potential target. Chelsea had previously set August 14 as a deadline for City to approach, but the situation remains open as the transfer window enters its final stages.
Chelsea’s willingness to consider a sale could depend heavily on the size and structure of any proposal. The club would also need to determine whether they could adequately replace the 25-year-old before sanctioning his departure.
Fernandez remains under contract at Stamford Bridge and has shown his importance to the team since arriving from Portugal. However, Chelsea’s latest stance suggests that the midfielder could leave if Manchester City are prepared to meet the club’s asking price.
A move would represent a major transfer between two Premier League giants and could trigger a significant reshuffle in both midfield departments.
Will Manchester City finally make the right offer to convince Chelsea to sell Enzo Fernandez?
