Shafaqna English– Manchester City made a blockbuster final move in the summer transfer window by signing Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for a reported £125 million ($169.08 million), matching the British record set by Liverpool’s acquisition of Alexander Isak last year.
The 25-year-old, who posted a farewell to Chelsea fans on social media just hours earlier, committed to a five-year contract and expressed his eagerness to contribute to City’s continued success, praising the club’s management and winning culture.
The deal was finalized moments before the 11:00 PM BST deadline and pushes City’s post-Pep Guardiola rebuild spending to approximately £450 million, marking their second record-breaking signing of the summer window.
