Enzo Fernandez Day: Chelsea hold firm on £120m fee as Manchester City face decisive deadline Manchester City remain locked in talks with Enzo Fernandez's camp ahead of Chelsea's deal deadline this evening. The Cityzens have been working on a deal to sign the Argentina international from Chelsea, who haveset a 5pm deadline this evening for City to meet their demands. Chelsea have set an asking price of £120m for Fernandez, and have been clear in their stance that the player will not be sold if that fee is not met today. Enzo Maresca has made Fernandez his top target to strengthen in midfield, as City rebuild in the engine room. The club are set to sell Tijjani Reijnders to Al Qadsiah after agreeing a £51m deal with the Saudi Pro League side, while talks remain ongoing with Barcelona over a deal for Rodri. Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on 'Enzo Fernandez day', insisting Chelsea are 'serious' about their hardline public position. The West Londoners want a £120m fee for Fernandez, a figure that would represent a club-record deal for Manchester City. It would be the club's second record-breaking recruit of the summer, following Elliot Anderson's £116m arrival from Nottingham Forest. Chelsea have denied already receiving a €120m (£102m) bid for Fernandes, despite reports. Their stance remains clear: £120m today or no deal.
