Chelsea deadline passes with no $120m City bid for Enzo Fernández
What's next: Chelsea expect Fernández to stay, but City still see a deal as possible if Rodri leaves for Barcelona.
Chelsea’s Friday deadline for bids on Enzo Fernández expired without Manchester City submitting the club’s £120 million asking price, leaving Chelsea expecting the Argentina midfielder to remain at Stamford Bridge. City’s interest has been tied to Rodri’s future, with Barcelona pursuing the Spain international after two offers were rejected. Reports put City’s valuation for Rodri around £60 million to £68 million, with the midfielder entering the final year of his contract and favoring a move to Camp Nou. City manager Enzo Maresca signaled more transfer business could follow before the window closes, even as he focused on Sunday’s Community Shield against Arsenal in Cardiff.
