Man City could use Enzo Fernandez
The 25-year-old has been exceptional for Chelsea since joining the club, and he registered 22 goal contributions last season.
Former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has been appointed as Manchester City’s new manager, and he rates the South American highly. He is keen on a reunion with the player, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester City can get the deal done.
The Chelsea star is likely to be expensive, and Manchester City have already spent £116 million on Elliot Anderson. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to break the Bank once again.
There is no doubt that Fernandez is a top-quality player and he would improve Manchester City immensely. He will help create chances for his teammates and score goals as well.

Man City move could tempt Fernandez
He has been a key player for club and country in recent years, and the opportunity to play for Manchester City could be exciting for him. They are in a better position to compete for major trophies compared to Chelsea, and the opportunity to reunite with his former manager will be exciting for Fernandez as well.
He has won major trophies with his country, and he will now look to succeed at the club level. Chelsea will not be able to offer him European football next season, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester City make an acceptable offer for the player. Convincing him to join the club might not be too difficult for them.
