Why it matters
High-profile football transfers significantly impact team performance and club financial valuations in the Premier League.
Enzo Fernandez is among several Chelsea players who could leave before the transfer deadline.
Manchester City are ready to put their full attention on the pursuit of Enzo Fernandez ahead of the September 1 transfer deadline.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to Man City to reunite with Enzo Maresca, who he worked with at Chelsea before he departed earlier this year to succeed Pep Guardiola at the Etihad this summer.
Man City failed to meet Chelsea's asking price of £120 million before August 14, a couple of weeks ago, but talks have continued between Man City and Fernandez's camp. It remains unclear what the Blues' new valuation is if they were to sell Fernandez.
