The Argentine midfielder appears on Pep Guardiola’s team’s list of priorities, which is considering strengthening the midfield after the season. At Chelsea, the sporting and managerial context opens up a scenario of uncertainty.

Enzo Fernández’s future is once again becoming a topic in the European market. According to The Athletic, Manchester City has the Argentine midfielder as one of its main targets for after the 2026 World Cup. The interest from Pep Guardiola’s side is not new. The coach has been following him since his time at River Plate and is now considering making a move in a favorable context: Chelsea’s current sporting situation and the internal changes within the squad.

The London club is going through an unstable period following Liam Rosenior’s departure. In that scenario, the midfielder is keeping his place in the team, although his situation is being closely watched by various European clubs. In Manchester, the possible reshuffle in midfield is a key factor. Bernardo Silva’s departure and the uncertainty over Rodri’s future are forcing the club to look for alternatives with playmaking ability and a presence in the box.

Fernández fits that profile. Since arriving in English football, he has recorded 163 appearances, 28 goals, and 29 assists. He also played a part in the London club’s Europa League and Club World Cup triumphs.

His contract with Chelsea runs until June 2032 and includes a release clause of €121 million. So far, there have been no formal offers, although City are not the only club interested: Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also monitoring his situation. Javier Pastore, his agent, said that the relationship with the English club’s board has been repaired after the latest public incidents.

Meanwhile, Enzo Fernández’s future remains tied to what happens after the World Cup. The interest is there, and once again the market has put him at center stage.
