Transfer bombshell close! Man City agree terms with Chelsea star
Manchester City have taken a major step towards one of the biggest deals of the final days of the summer window.
Details: According to renowned insider Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City have reached a verbal agreement with Enzo Fernández over personal terms. The Argentine midfielder is ready to make the move, but the transfer is still far from complete: City have not submitted an official bid to Chelsea, while the London club must now decide the asking price for one of their midfield leaders.
Direct club-to-club talks are expected to begin soon. The key point is that the agreement currently concerns only Fernández's personal terms: there is still no agreement between Manchester City and Chelsea over a transfer fee, and the Blues remain in control of the next stage of negotiations.
The uncertainty is already affecting the midfielder's involvement with Chelsea. Romano adds that Fernández could once again miss the club's game this weekend as negotiations surrounding his future move closer to a decisive stage. With the transfer window nearing its conclusion, the next contact between the clubs could determine whether City turn their agreement with the player into a completed deal.
It's worth noting that Fernández was Chelsea's leading appearance-maker in the 2025/26 season, featuring 54 times in all competitions and recording 15 goals and 7 assists. Transfermarkt currently values the 25-year-old Argentina international at €90 million.
