Rodri replacement lined up by Man City as Enzo Maresca eyes reunion with Chelsea star
- Manchester City are exploring a move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, as they anticipate Rodri’s expected transfer to Barcelona.
- New City manager Enzo Maresca, who previously coached Fernandez at Stamford Bridge, rates the Argentine international highly.
- Chelsea value Fernandez at approximately £120 million, a price tag that could potentially deter interested clubs despite his strong individual performance last season.
- The potential acquisition of Fernandez comes after City bid farewell to Bernardo Silva, before signing Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for £116 million.
- Fernandez, who had a mixed World Cup campaign including two goals but a red card in the final, is currently on holiday and is expected to rejoin Chelsea next week, while Chelsea themselves are pursuing Bournemouth’s Alex Scott.
