Chelsea has this Thursday de-registered Enzo Fernández, a 25-year-old midfielder, for the Carabao Cup match against Luton Town at the player's explicit request. A twist in the Chelsea's transfer market.

The Argentinian international asked coach Xabi Alonso not to participate in the match to avoid jeopardizing his transfer before the market closes, after reaching an agreement on personal terms with Manchester City.

Enzo Fernández's Position and Xabi Alonso's Tactical Decision

The 25-year-old player is not even on Chelsea's bench despite Xabi Alonso stating in the pre-match press conference that the player was available. The midfielder approved Manchester City's proposal earlier this week and formally requested to be excluded from the team's dynamics while the boards finalize the transfer parameters.

The London club's top management confirmed they will not count on the midfielder for upcoming league commitments due to the imminent resolution of his future. However, the board insists on maintaining the player's valuation and conditions the sale on the possibility of reinvesting the money to bolster the squad.

Negotiation Figures between Chelsea and Manchester City

Discussions between both boards have progressed directly in the last 24 hours with exchanges of initial amounts. Manchester City's formal proposal will start below 120 million pounds, an amount that would place the transfer below the record amount of 121 million euros that Chelsea paid to Benfica in January 2023.

Enzo Maresca aims to add the player to cover the midfield for the Manchester team after experiencing several exits in that area of the field and it is crucial for him to bring in a familiar face. Contacts will continue without the player's on-field involvement to expedite bureaucratic procedures.

The boards of both clubs will hold a virtual summit in the next 12 hours. In this meeting, Manchester's team executives will submit the first written proposal below 120 million pounds aimed at setting the payment structure before the weekend.
