Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is wanted by Manchester City (Picture: Getty) Manchester City are preparing a fresh bid for Enzo Fernandez and hope to sign the Chelsea midfielder before the transfer window closes. The Argentina international’s future has been a subject of intense speculation all summer long with new City boss Enzo Maresca keen to be reunited with a player he coached during his time at Stamford Bridge. City’s engine room has undergone a major transformation over the summer with Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Tijjani Reijnders all having departed. Nico Gonalez, meanwhile, is on the cusp of joining Newcastle while Rico Lewis, who started Sunday’s game against Bournemouth, has appeared surplus to requirements before a spree of exits.

The signings of Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi represent significant additions, but City’s engine room is still in need of reinforcements and Fernandez remains their primary target. Chelsea initially set a deadline of last Friday for their Premier League rivals to sign the former Benfica star but, according to Fabrizio Romano, they remain open to a sale on two conditions. The Blues will not budge on their valuation and want at least £120million for the 25-year-old. Enzo Fernandez was booed during Chelsea’s win over Fulham (picture: Getty) Chelsea are also reluctant to sell until they have a replacement lined up but their two top targets, Bournemouth’s Alex Scott and Arsenal’s Martin Zubimendi, are not for sale. The Gunners Spain international has fallen behind Myles Lewis-Skelly in Mikel Arteta’s pecking order but the former Real Sociedad star remains a key part of the Premier League champions’ plans. ‘No, he’s a really important player,’ said Arteta last week when asked if the World Cup winner was up for sale.

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez remains in Manchester City’s crosshairs (Picture: Getty) Chelsea have sent out a ‘clear message’ to Manchester City that they hold all the power over Enzo Fernandez’s future and would be ‘happy’ to keep the midfielder. That’s according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, who expects City to ‘try again’ for the Argentina international before the transfer window closes on September 1. Enzo Maresca has been activiely pushing City’s hierarchy to get a deal over the line for Fernandez having previously worked with the 25-year-old during his 18-month spell in charge at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea’s deadline for clubs to submit bids came and went last Friday at 5pm, which seemingly brought an end to the incessant speculation surrounding Fernandez ahead of the new season.

However, Romano insists City bosses remain hopeful their Premier League rivals could still be coaxed into an agreement and do not see the transfer saga as being over just yet. City already broke their transfer record by signing Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for an eye-watering fee of £116million last month, and a move for Fernandez – valued at £120m – would represent the fourth-biggest deal in football history. Fernandez still has six years remaining on his current contract in west London. The Argentine was booed during Chelsea’s friendly with Real Sociedad (Picture: Dennis/TGS Photo/Shutterstock) Maresca is hoping to be reunited with Fernandez at City (Picture: AP) ‘Manchester City are still thinking of Enzo Fernandez in midfield, Manchester City are not giving up for Enzo Fernandez even after the deadline,’ Romano told viewers in the latest video on his YouTube channel. ‘Manchester City know that they have to negotiate now, there is no longer a verbal agreement on the exit. ‘So now it’s Chelsea deciding, it’s Chelsea evaluating the situation.’ Chelsea have sent out a ‘clear message’ over Fernandez’s future (Picture: Sports Press Photo/Shutterstock) Romano claims City remain in talks for Fernandez, as well as 18-year-old Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, who has agreed personal terms over a move to the Etihad. He added: ‘It’s on Chelsea to decide the price but Manchester City are still there, Manchester City are still calling the agent of the player, Manchester City are still in contact. ‘Manchester City lost the game against Arsenal and it’s very clear that Manchester City need signings. Alonso’s Chelsea side kicked off their new season away to Fulham in a week’s time (Picture: Getty) ‘I expect two things from Manchester City: close on Ayyoub Bouaddi. They have an agreement with Bouaddi on personal terms and they are expected also to advance the deal in the next hours. ‘And then Enzo Fernandez. I expect City to try again, then we have to see what Chelsea will do and we have to see what the player will do. ‘At the moment, Chelsea still send a very clear message: we are in control, we decide and we will be happy to keep Enzo.’ Fernandez came away with a runners-up medal at this year’s World Cup (Picture: DiaEsportivo/Action Plus/Shutterstock) Fernandez first cast major doubt over his future as he publicly criticised Chelsea bosses over Maresca’s departure in the back-end of last season – which resulted in him being banned for two matches. The 2022 World Cup winner made his return for Chelsea against Real Sociedad on Saturday and was roundly booed by a large section of fans inside Stamford Bridge. Xabi Alonso did not hold a press conference after the pre-season friendly but insisted he was ‘delighted’ with the atmosphere, while thanking supporters for the ‘great reception’ he received. ‘It was emotional to feel my first time in the new home,’ the new Chelsea manager told the club’s official website after his side’s 3-1 victory. ‘A great reception from the supporters to the team and to the new staff, myself as well, so delighted. ‘We want to create good connections and have that support. We want to give them good football so they will give us energy, and we connect. To have a good atmosphere here in the stadium will be a massive boost for the team.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Fernandez has been looking to leave Stamford Bridge (Picture Mike Egerton/PA Wire) Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca has appeared to rule out a move to sign Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea today. The Argentina international has been considering a move away from Stamford Bridge with doubts over long-term future first emerging back in March.

But speaking ahead of City’s Community Shield showdown with Arsenal on Sunday, Maresca said he was not expecting anything to materialise before that deadline. ‘Not today to be honest,’ Maresca told a press conference. ‘I don’t think we are going to do something today.’ Fernandez first raised the possibility of a move away from Chelsea in March during the final weeks of Liam Rosenior’s brief reign in charge. Fernandez was unhappy when Maresca left Chelsea (Picture: AP) In a string of interviews with foreign media outlets, he talked up a move to Real Madrid but Los Blancos have since insisted they have ‘no intention’ of signing Fernandez, valuing their relationship with Chelsea. City appears to be the midfielder’s only possible destination at this point but it remains to be seen whether they will meet Chelsea’s asking price. Chelsea are ready to reintegrate Fernandez into the squad should no move materialise. Speaking last month, Xabi Alonso made it clear that he wants Fernandez to remain at Chelsea. ‘Yes we have spoken.
