Enzo Fernández joins Manchester City for £125m

Overview

Manchester City has completed a major squad reconstruction following the departure of Pep Guardiola, headlined by the £125 million signing of Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernández from Chelsea. The transfer matches the British record previously held by Alexander Isak. Manager Enzo Maresca has noted that Fernández is ready to debut against Coventry City, praising the midfielder’s “winner’s mentality” and stating that several teammates had requested his arrival.

Alongside Fernández, the club secured Senegalese attacker Iliman Ndiaye from Everton for £65 million. This significant summer spending contributes to a Premier League record of over £3.5 billion in total transfer expenditure. The squad is also navigating a midfield transition following the departure of Rodri to Barcelona, with young talent Ayyoub Bouaddi expected to take on a larger role.

Despite the high-profile arrivals, former City player Kevin De Bruyne has offered a critical perspective. De Bruyne suggested the hype surrounding Fernández may be inflated by his price tag, stating the midfielder is “not even remotely close” to the level he played at during his tenure with the club.
