Manchester City have received explicit approval from Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez to finalized his transfer before the September 1 deadline, as confirmed by reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano. The 25-year-old Argentine, who featured as a substitute in Chelsea’s 3-2 Premier League victory over Fulham, will allow negotiations to proceed between the two clubs for a deal valued at approximately £120 million. City officials remain hopeful of securing the player at a reduced fee despite the initial asking price.
Manager Xabi Alonso did not dismiss speculation surrounding Fernandez’s future following the match, signaling potential internal discussions about replacing the midfielder should the transfer materialize. If departures occur, Chelsea may turn their attention to Bournemouth’s Alex Scott as a potential central midfield acquisition.
