Enzo Fernández has come to a verbal agreement with Manchester City regarding personal terms, making him receptive to a potential transfer from Chelsea.
However, the move hinges on reaching an agreement between the clubs, as Manchester City has yet to make an official bid for the Argentine international.
Discussions between the two clubs are anticipated shortly, with Chelsea holding significant influence over the midfielder’s valuation and the necessary conditions for his departure.
Fernández might not be included in Chelsea’s squad again this weekend, adding to the uncertainty surrounding his situation.
Softfootball previously indicated that Fernández has shown interest in a potential move to Manchester City and is open to the possibility of reuniting with Enzo Maresca.
Maresca is familiar with Fernández from their time together at Chelsea and is believed to be eager to collaborate with the midfielder in Manchester City.
The situation is progressing to a key phase, with City likely to reach out and evaluate Chelsea’s stance before deciding whether to proceed with an official offer.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will set the asking price for Fernández’s departure, having clarified that any transfer must align with their terms.
Currently, while personal terms are settled, the transfer’s progress is contingent on Manchester City and Chelsea agreeing on a fee.
For City, acquiring Fernández would further bolster their midfield as Pep Guardiola aims to keep the team competitive across all fronts. His range of passing, dynamic energy, and game control make him a compelling target.
With Fernández amenable to the transfer and City gearing up to submit a bid, the next few days may prove vital. Chelsea faces a significant choice on whether to engage in negotiations or make a concerted effort to retain the Argentine midfielder.
