Manchester City have completed the signing of midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for a fee of £125 million, matching the British transfer record set by Liverpool’s purchase of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United last summer. The deal was finalized late in the transfer window, with Fernandez set to undergo a medical examination.
The fee, reported to be the highest in English football history, reflects the growing financial power of Premier League clubs. Chelsea confirmed their agreement to the transfer, marking the end of a high-profile summer for the Argentine player. Fernandez, 22, is expected to join City’s squad ahead of the new season.
Liverpool, meanwhile, remained focused on their own transfer activities, with reports suggesting they attempted to secure a loan deal for right-back Malo Gusto from Chelsea on deadline day. However, the move was reportedly blocked due to financial concerns.
The £125m fee for Fernandez highlights the increasing competition among top clubs for elite talent, with City continuing to invest heavily in strengthening their squad.
