Manchester City will formalize a proposal this August week of 2026 to offer €140 million (£120 million) to Chelsea to transfer Enzo Fernández. The Argentine is the main request of Enzo Maresca to replace Rodri.

The board leading the planning for Enzo Maresca is aiming to finalize the operation before September 1, the deadline for the summer transfer market, after recently completing the signing of Ayyoub Bouaddi.

Intense negotiations between Manchester City and Chelsea after exceeding deadlines

According to The Athletic and Fabrizio Romano, contacts between the boards have picked up pace after missing the initial August 14 deadline. Manchester City is willing to pay the €140 million demanded by Stamford Bridge for the player, who played 54 matches and scored 15 goals during the last season.

The main obstacle lies in the limited time remaining for the London club to sign a replacement in midfield. Gianluca Di Marzio confirmed that talks between the clubs progress daily, while coach Xabi Alonso has publicly requested a swift resolution to the case.

The fit of Enzo Fernández in Enzo Maresca's tactical scheme

Maresca deems Fernández's arrival essential to structure the midfield following the departures this summer. The midfielder would lead the possession game alongside the recent addition of Bouaddi.

Manchester City's offices expedite financial procedures to prevent time constraints from jeopardizing negotiations with Stamford Bridge. The midfielder's willingness facilitates the agreement on personal contract terms pending the final signature.

Manchester City's representatives will hold a virtual meeting with Chelsea's board in the next 24 hours. In this meeting, the Citizens' executives will send the official documentation with the €140 million figure to secure Fernández's transfer and arrange his medical examination before the weekend.
