Enzo Fernandez has also been linked with Real Madrid. He could look to move on in the summer and search for a new challenge, and the opportunity to join Manchester City could be exciting for him. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have been regularly fighting for major trophies.
According to a report from Fichajes, he could cost around €120 million.
On the other hand, Chelsea are going through a rough patch, and they could miss out on UEFA Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign. They have recently sacked manager Liam Rosenior and have yet to bring in a quality replacement.
There is uncertainty surrounding the Chelsea project, and Fernandez might feel that this is the right time for him to move on. He is at the peak of his career, and he cannot afford to waste his prime years.
Manchester City need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the 25-year-old would be ideal for them. He will add control, creativity and goals from the middle of the park.
The 2022 World Cup winner has registered 18 goal contributions in all competitions this season. There is no doubt that he is one of the best central midfielders in the Premier League right now. If Manchester City managed to secure his signature, it could prove to be a major coup for them.
Chelsea will not want to lose a key player like him, but they could be under pressure to cash in on the midfielder if he decides to force an exit. They will not want to hold onto an unhappy player. That said, any deal to sign Fernandez will be very expensive. He has a long-term contract with the Blues, and they will not want to lose him for cheap.
It remains to be seen whether the South American is prepared to stay in the Premier League after leaving Chelsea, or if he decides to move abroad to clubs like Real Madrid.
