Enzo Fernández Completes £125m Move to Manchester City on Deadline Day
Manchester City beat the transfer deadline to sign Enzo Fernández from Chelsea in a deal worth £125m, one of the biggest moves of the summer window.
Manchester City completed a deadline-day swoop for Enzo Fernández, agreeing a £125m fee with Chelsea to bring the Argentine midfielder to the Etihad.
The move was one of the headline deals of a frantic final day of the 2026 summer transfer window, which closed in England at 11pm on September 1. Fernández, who joined Chelsea in a big-money deal from Benfica back in 2023, becomes one of the most expensive midfield signings in Premier League history.
City have been searching for fresh midfield options following a period of squad transition, and Fernández's passing range and composure in possession are expected to slot directly into the club's build-up play. For Chelsea, the sale represents a significant piece of business as the club continues to reshape its squad and balance the books under Financial Fair Play rules.
Fernández becomes one of several high-profile names to change clubs on deadline day, with the Premier League seeing a flurry of late deals across the division before the window slammed shut.
