Manchester City Signs Enzo Fernandez for Record €145m
In 2026, Manchester City broke their transfer record twice, first by signing Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for €145m on deadline day, making him the club's most expensive signing and equaling the Premier League transfer record. Fernandez had previously joined Chelsea from Benfica for €121m in January 2023.
Shortly before this, City signed Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for €135m in July 2026, who had impressed during the 2026 World Cup. These signings were part of a significant midfield rebuild following Rodri's transfer to Barcelona.
The list of Manchester City's ten most expensive signings includes notable players such as Jack Grealish, who was signed for €117.5m from Aston Villa in 2021, and Bouaddi from Lille for €95m in 2026. Erling Haaland, who transferred from Borussia Dortmund for €60m in 2022, is notably absent from this list.
