Enzo Fernandez’s move to Manchester City is done. Fabrizio Romano confirmed the deal with his trademark “Here We Go,” announcing that Chelsea have approved the sale of their Argentine midfielder.
Romano reports the deal is in place for a fee in excess of £125 million, following a long negotiation between the two clubs.
According to Romano, Enzo only wanted Manchester City once his Chelsea exit became possible. He is now set for a medical at the club.
This is a major statement of intent from City. Enzo has been one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe since his World Cup winning heroics with Argentina, and landing him for this fee shows how highly Pep Guardiola rates his profile in the middle of the park.
For Chelsea, sanctioning the sale of a player of Enzo’s calibre signals a significant shift, though the size of the fee will go some way to softening that blow financially.
