Manchester City has placed Enzo Fernández, a 25-year-old midfielder from Chelsea, as their main target in the market to replace Rodri during this transfer window. The Argentine is the great desire of Enzo Maresca to rebuild the Sky Blue midfield.

The entity led by Enzo Maresca will accelerate contacts as soon as the Stamford Bridge board accepts negotiating below 100 million pounds, conditional on the Spanish midfielder finalizing his move to Real Madrid.

The departure of Rodri triggers the operation for Enzo Fernández

Manchester City's sports planning depends directly on the outcome of the talks with Rodri. The Spanish international has put on hold the contract extension proposal from the Etihad Stadium offices after expressing his intention to return to LaLiga, where Real Madrid is preparing a 50 million euros offer to close his transfer before the beginning of August.

Facing the risk of losing the core of their tactical scheme, Enzo Maresca has pointed to the Argentine midfielder as the ideal piece to take charge in the creation zone. Despite Manchester City already splurging 116 million pounds on Elliot Anderson in the last weeks of July 2026, the technical department considers it essential to incorporate a second high-profile pivot to face the Premier League and the Champions League.

Chelsea's stance and the figures of Enzo Fernández's transfer

The main obstacle for Manchester City lies in the financial demands set in London. Chelsea's board has valued the midfielder at 120 million pounds, an amount higher than the 121 million euros they paid in 2023 to bring him from the Portuguese League. However, the player has expressed to his circle the desire to join a project with greater sporting aspirations in England.

The Manchester board will wait for a resolution in Rodri's case to present a first formal written proposal. The Citizens' plan is to negotiate a final agreement below the 100 million pound mark, leveraging the player's stance after finishing his participation in the 2026 World Cup.

Malo Gusto, another target for Manchester City

Once the negotiation for the midfield is advanced, Manchester City will utilize the market meetings with Chelsea to explore the signing of Malo Gusto, a 23-year-old right-back. Enzo Maresca has requested a specialist for the wing to reposition Matheus Nunes in his natural center midfield position.

Although Stamford Bridge refuses to part ways with the French full-back, and previous talks bore no fruit, Manchester City will seek to include the defender in the same transfer summit before both players return to preseason training.
