A Potential Blockbuster Move
Fernández joined Chelsea from Benfica in January 2023 for a British-record fee of around £107 million. Since arriving at Stamford Bridge, he has become a key figure in the midfield and helped the club win the UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup. �

Now, Manchester City are reportedly pushing to bring the World Cup-winning midfielder to the Etihad Stadium.

Five-Year Deal Reportedly Agreed
The latest reports claim Fernández has agreed to a five-year contract running until June 2031 with Manchester City.
That personal agreement would represent a major step forward, but it does not mean the transfer has been completed. Chelsea must still accept City’s proposal and agree the final transfer fee.
Earlier reports had indicated that Chelsea were reluctant to sell the Argentine midfielder unless their valuation was met. �
