Man City considering bid for Chelsea's Fernandez

Enzo Fernandez joined Chelsea from Benfica for £107m in 2023; the Argentine played in Chelsea's first Premier League game of the season against Fulham; Chelsea set a deadline earlier in August for City to bid but Enzo Maresca still holds an interest in his former player

Manchester City are considering making a bid for Enzo Fernandez before the deadline.

Sky Sports News has been reporting for some time that he is a top target for City boss Enzo Maresca following the departure of Rodri.

City have signed Ayyoub Bouaddi - the highly-rated 18-year-old Morocco international, who impressed at the World Cup.

And they want to make more additions in midfield. They also have interest in Bournemouth's Alex Scott and Roma's Manu Kone.
