Manchester City have agreed a deal with Chelsea for midfielder Enzo Fernandez, with the transfer understood to be worth 125 million, according to The Athletic.
Fernandez was undergoing a medical on Monday evening and an official announcement is expected shortly, bringing one of the most significant moves of the window close to completion. The agreement is understood to smash the British transfer fee record, underlining City’s determination to secure the Chelsea midfielder in a landmark deal.
The move would also see Fernandez link up once more with Enzo Maresca, his former Chelsea boss. That reunion is expected to be a central part of the transfer, with City moving decisively to bring the midfielder into their squad after reaching an agreement on the fee.
Chelsea are now set to lose one of their most high-profile midfielders in a record-breaking transaction. While the deal has not yet been formally announced, the completion of the medical is usually one of the final steps before confirmation from the clubs.
For Manchester City, the agreement represents a major statement in the market. A fee of this scale places Fernandez among the most expensive signings ever made by a British club and signals the club’s confidence that he can make an immediate impact under Maresca.
Further details around the structure of the payment and any contractual terms have not yet been confirmed. However, with the medical taking place and both clubs understood to have reached agreement, the transfer is now expected to be finalised imminently.
City supporters will now wait for the official announcement, while Chelsea prepare for the departure of a midfielder who is set to become the subject of a record-breaking British transfer.
