Chelsea's £120m valuation for Enzo Fernandez remains, as reported in May. Manchester City hold an appreciation, including from Enzo Maresca, as reported on @talkSPORT over the weekend. Not an easy deal to pull off. Chelsea haven't received any Enzo offers over the past 60 days. Focus is on the new season and locking in the first-team squad. #MCFC will be active in the midfield market as advanced talks for Ayyoub Bouaddi also continue. Two new midfielders could arrive.👕

Chelsea’s position is the £120m offer to sign Enzo Fernandez is off the table but it remains to be seen whether #MCFC still bid, and offer different terms. Interest remains. City sources point to Chelsea’s own pursuit of Fernandez in February 2023, which went down to the final minutes of the window and had previous points where Benfica said publicly the Argentine midfielder was not for sale. Chelsea expect Fernandez to stay and if Manchester City do now move post-deadline it may well need to be on different terms/structure.🇦🇷

Manchester City retain their interest in Enzo Fernandez despite Chelsea's deadline to make a £120m offer passing. Specific exit terms given to Fernandez's camp since May, but Manchester City may now have to offer a different structure/number for Chelsea to consider. And Chelsea would likely also source a replacement. Manchester City are prepared to do both Fernandez and Ayyoub Bouaddi. Although Chelsea are comfortable if Fernandez stays, and planning for this post-deadline, #MCFC don't consider the Argentine midfielder off the market.🇦🇷

So over 12,000 votes cast and while more #CFC fans want Fernandez to stay than don’t, the margin is not that great. Continues the theme how the midfielder divides opinion at Stamford Bridge. Just over 90 minutes to the deadline for £120m official bid to be made by #MCFC https://t.co/zJvW9S7T8P

Enzo Fernandez is keen to join Marc Cucurella at Real Madrid, and has made no secret of wanting to leave Chelsea. Chelsea's asking price remains £120m, as revealed last month. Club calm about the situation, but will sell at the right price. Real Madrid are currently deciding on the type of midfield profile they want. Mateus Fernandes and Rodri two other names discussed.⚪️

As of now, Chelsea have not received a bid for Enzo Fernandez. The Friday 17:00 deadline remains in place for that to change, and the terms are clear. Chelsea must receive a written bid of £120m-net with privately communicated payment terms. All interested parties have been informed, including Manchester City.
