Manchester City's Enzo Fernandez Pursuit Continues Despite Chelsea Deadline

Manchester City remains interested in signing Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez despite missing the London club's deadline for a £120 million written offer. Chelsea has since hardened its stance, demanding more than the initial £120 million or better terms. Fernandez, who has a contract with Chelsea until 2032, is open to talks with City, with his former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca now managing the Manchester club. City is also nearing an agreement with Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, but that wouldn't rule out an Enzo move. Chelsea is planning for Fernandez's potential departure, with Bournemouth's Alex Scott and Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton their leading midfield targets.
