Manchester City are on the verge of signing Chelsea star Enzo Fernández on deadline day.
The Argentina international has decided to leave Chelsea and has to wait until the end of the window to secure a move.
Last week, Sport Witness covered reports from Argentina explaining that he’s very close to joining Manchester City.
Latest on Chelsea star’s move to Manchester City
Doble Amarilla now picks up on that and states the midfielder will change clubs in the next few hours. The outlet makes it clear it’s their own information.
There has been a ‘marathon meeting’ between Manchester City and Chelsea officials.
To put it in context, the negotiations lasted for eight hours and this has helped the two clubs to finalise an agreement.
The Citizens have agreed to pay Xabi Alonso’s side €140m plus €20m bonuses linked to his performances.
What’s pending to complete move
The Etihad club are sorting out a ‘tax issue’ with Chelsea and only this is pending for the agreement.
Doble Amarilla, on X, formerly known as Twitter, points about ‘total agreement’ for the 25-year-old to join the Citizens.
With Manchester City reaching a total agreement, it’s fair to assume Enzo Fernández has a deal in place for the personal terms.
He seems waiting for the two clubs to sort out the tax issue, after which he will undergo medical tests and carry out other transfer formalities to complete his move to the Etihad. The player can reunite with former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca at Manchester City.
The South American graduated from River Plate’s youth system and spent his entire youth career with them. He made his way into their first team in 2019 and then made a switch to Benfica in June 2023.
Soy del Millo says his impending move to Manchester City will benefit his former club. The report adds River Plate will [if it’s €140m] receive €4.9m via FIFA’s Solidarity Mechanism.
