Manchester City to Bid for £120m Enzo Fernandez

Manchester City is preparing to make an opening offer for midfielder Enzo Fernandez, who is valued at £120 million. Manager Enzo Maresca has identified the Argentina international as a priority target to enhance City's midfield following multiple high-profile exits.

Despite previous interest from City, a deal could not be finalized earlier this summer. However, City is expected to make another attempt to secure the 25-year-old before the transfer deadline next week.

Fernandez is currently available for selection in Chelsea's upcoming Carabao Cup match against Luton Town, as confirmed by manager Xabi Alonso. Alonso stated that Fernandez has been training well and is a good professional.

The potential transfer could see Fernandez become one of the most expensive signings in Premier League history. This situation follows a turbulent period for Fernandez at Chelsea, where he has faced criticism and speculation regarding his future.
