According to Sports Mole and Goal.com, Enzo Maresca wants Enzo Fernandez as a replacement for Rodri. Maresca knows the player well, having worked with him at Chelsea and highly values the Argentine’s tactical qualities.
Chelsea do not want to sell: Fernandez’s contract runs until 2032, and the club is demanding around £120 million. City are also considering Lille youngster Ayoub Bouaddi as an alternative.
📊 For betting: the deal is complex and expensive – it is unlikely to close quickly. We follow City’s form at the start of the season. Without an adequate replacement for Rodri, the defensive area may weaken.
