Manchester City are working on signing Enzo Fernández and Chelsea are open to selling him this summer.
Enzo Maresca has managed the 25-year-old at Chelsea and wants to reunite with him at the Etihad.
Last week, Sport Witness relayed news of Manchester City’s interest in the midfielder.
Future uncertain amid Manchester City links
TyC Sports journalist Gastón Edul took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to state it’s not certain the Argentina international will continue at Stamford Bridge.
That’s because Manchester City have a concrete interest and Enzo Maresca wants to have him at his disposal.
According to Edul, there should be clarity over Enzo Fernández’s future in ‘matter of days’.
Agent aware of Manchester City interest
César Luis Merlo reports Manchester City ‘go all out’ to sign the Chelsea star.
Barcelona are working on signing Rodri and the Citizens have identified Enzo Fernández as the main candidate to replace him.
Enzo Maresca and his new club believe the former Benfica man’s profile would meet their demands. Therefore, Manchester City ‘intend to move quickly’ to secure his services.

The South American’s agent is aware of the English club’s interest. The difficult task is negotiating and finding an agreement with the Blues.
Merlo states: ‘The next few hours will be key in determining whether Maresca’s wish can become a reality.’

Chelsea willing to sell
The Blues, for their part, are willing to sell. This should provide the Etihad club an opening to carry out negotiations and eventually find an agreement.
On July 23rd, Enzo Fernández’s agent Javier Pastore said he’s looking for a solution this summer. Everything now points to Manchester City, provided the parties can come to an agreement.
