Chelsea keep Enzo Fernández after Man City miss £120m bid deadline
What's next: City still could return before the Sept. 1 window closes, but any deal depends on Barcelona buying Rodri.
Chelsea expect Enzo Fernández to stay after Manchester City failed to submit a £120 million offer by the club’s Friday deadline. City had tracked the Argentina midfielder, who previously played under Enzo Maresca at Chelsea, but no bid arrived before 5 p.m. BST. The move is tied to Rodri’s future, with City not planning to buy Fernández unless Barcelona meets their price for the Spain midfielder. City have already rejected two Barcelona offers for Rodri and are seeking roughly £60 million to £65 million, with a third bid expected. The wider squad reshuffle continues as Tijjani Reijnders nears a move to Al-Qadsiah for about £51 million.
