A pivotal day for Chelsea, Man City and Fernandez - what's going on?

Could today be the day that decides potentially one of the biggest transfers in history?

Chelsea set a deadline of Friday at 17:00 BST for offers for Manchester City target Enzo Fernandez, who they value at £120m.

The potential move would see the Argentina midfielder link up again with new City boss Enzo Maresca, who was formerly his manager at Chelsea .

"I don't think we're going to do something today," said Maresca when asked in a news conference on Friday if they were likely to do imminent transfer business.

But that does not mean they will not start to make their move behind closed doors.

City have already made a big-money midfield signing this summer in Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson for £116m.

A potential deal for Fernandez seems to rely on City selling Spain midfielder Rodri, officially the best player at the 2026 World Cup among numerous other accolades, to Barcelona.

And it could increase the potential beef between City and Chelsea following Maresca's move this summer.
