Blockbuster Confirmed: Enzo Fernández Is a New Manchester City Player

Manchester City shook up the final hours of the transfer window with the signing of Enzo Fernández, who leaves Chelsea in a deal reportedly worth €145 million, according to AS, DAZN and several English media outlets.

One of the biggest moves of the transfer window has finally been completed. Enzo Fernández has officially left Chelsea to become a new Manchester City player in a deal reportedly worth €145 million, according to AS, DAZN and several English media outlets.

If that figure is confirmed, the World Cup winner would become the second-most expensive signing in Premier League history, behind only the €150 million Liverpool paid for Alexander Isak. In addition, certain performance-related variables included in the deal could push the final transfer fee even higher.

Enzo Fernández Signs With Manchester City Until 2031

Negotiations stretched into the final hours of the transfer window due to Chelsea's reluctance to part ways with one of its most important players. However, Enzo Fernández's desire to begin a new chapter ultimately proved important in unlocking the deal.

The Argentine had already reached an agreement on personal terms with Manchester City and will now sign a five-year contract through 2031.

At the Etihad Stadium, he will reunite with Enzo Maresca, one of the main driving forces behind his arrival. The midfielder joins as a versatile option capable of operating in different areas of midfield while also providing an attacking presence.

Enzo Says Goodbye to Chelsea After Four Seasons

The transfer brings Enzo Fernández's four-season spell at Stamford Bridge to an end. During that period, the Argentine made 170 appearances, scored 31 goals and provided 29 assists, while also taking on the captaincy and becoming one of the key figures in Chelsea's project.

Before completing his departure, the midfielder posted a lengthy farewell message thanking the club's supporters, his teammates and staff for their time together.

“You will always be in my heart, Blues. I will always, always wish you the best. Always Blue. Thank you, Chelsea,” the Argentine said.

A new chapter now begins in Enzo Fernández's career. After once again becoming the centerpiece of a blockbuster transfer, the World Cup winner swaps London for Manchester to join a Manchester City side that has completed one of the biggest moves of the transfer window.
