The English transfer market is heating up with a massive and completely unexpected megadeal brewing between two of the country's top clubs.
Details: According to Sky Sport Germany, Chelsea's star midfielder Enzo Fernández has become one of Manchester City's top transfer priorities for the upcoming summer window.
The driving force behind this high-profile move is City's new head coach, Enzo Maresca, who views the Argentine World Cup winner as the perfect piece to build his new midfield at the Etihad.
It is reported that initial private contacts and behind-the-scenes negotiations between the parties have already taken place successfully. A huge advantage in this potential deal is the fact that both Enzos—Maresca and Fernández—enjoy an excellent professional relationship and a strong personal trust, which could significantly speed up the midfielder's move to Manchester. Transfermarkt values the player at €90 million.
Notably, this season the Argentine midfielder has featured in 53 matches across all competitions, scoring 15 goals and providing 7 assists.
Reminder: Legendary Spanish footballer César Azpilicueta announced his retirement from professional football.
