Enzo Fernández unveiled as Manchester City signing for record Premier League fee | OneFootball

Enzo Fernández was officially unveiled by Manchester City on Tuesday as a signing for the 2026/27 season, and will sign a contract running to 2032.

According to SuperDepor.com, he left Chelsea for around €146 million, the fourth most expensive transfer in football history and a Premier League record. River Plate will receive 4.5 percent, about €6.3 million.

The midfielder, who came through River Plate, missed Chelsea’s last two matches while the move was finalised. City are managed by Enzo Maresca, who had already coached him during his spell in London.

Relations with Chelsea fans had long been strained. He was booed during a friendly against Real Sociedad despite being a key player and the club captain. That tension led him to opt for Manchester City.

His farewell on Instagram expressed how closely he had grown to the club and that Chelsea would always remain in his thoughts and, above all, in his heart.

Fernández leaves after three and a half years at Chelsea, with 170 appearances, 31 goals and 30 assists, and the 2025 Conference League and 2025 Club World Cup titles. His compatriot Emiliano Martínez has joined the Blues, though the pair will not share a dressing room.
