Player who earned Benfica a fortune could join Manchester City | OneFootball

Enzo Fernández is more than determined to leave Chelsea in the summer transfer window. Based on the rumors that have emerged in recent days, the former Benfica midfielder is expected to leave the London club, although his destination should still be the Premier League, with Manchester City in pole position.

The same source explains that Benfica’s former number 13 is a specific request from Enzo Maresca, tipped to become the new Citizens manager after Pep Guardiola’s departure was confirmed. The Italian coach believes Manchester City need a player with Enzo Fernández’s profile in the squad.

On the other hand, Plattenberg adds that Manchester City are not the only club interested in signing Enzo Fernández. Real Madrid, who could see the return of José Mourinho, and PSG also have the Argentine on their shopping list. It should be remembered that the midfielder even had problems with Chelsea for publicly expressing his desire to play for Los Blancos.

In the 2025/26 season, playing for Chelsea, Enzo Fernández - valued at €90 million - made 54 official appearances: 36 in the Premier League, 10 in the Champions League, four in the FA Cup and four in the EFL Cup. In the 4,379 minutes he was on the pitch, the midfielder scored 15 goals and provided seven assists.
