The Manchester City's interest in Enzo Fernández has been ongoing, with the club already investing heavily in the midfield position this transfer window. Chelsea, however, is demanding a high value for the Argentine midfielder, reportedly setting a minimum price of £120 million for negotiations to begin.

Xabi Alonso, Chelsea's head coach, has stated that Enzo Fernández's absence from the team was a purely sporting decision, citing the need for other players to gain minutes. Alonso also praised Enzo Fernández as a good professional who is training well.

A move to Manchester City would be one of the biggest transfers in English football history, and it remains to be seen whether the club will make a convincing proposal to Chelsea.
