DEADLINE DAY LIVE: Manchester City open talks with Chelsea over Fernandez deal

Manchester City are seeking a late midfield boost as Chelsea hold out for a £120 million fee for the Argentina international.

  • On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, Manchester City opened negotiations with Chelsea to sign Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez, with reports indicating a potential £120 million fee.
  • City manager Enzo Maresca is driving this reunion following high-profile midfield exits, including Rodri to Barcelona and Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid.
  • Elsewhere, Everton looks set to sign USA striker Folarin Balogun from Monaco, while Tottenham defender Kevin Danso is reportedly joining Sunderland on loan for around £25 million.
  • Premier League clubs face an 11 p.m. BST deadline today, requiring teams to submit fully completed deal sheets to finalize registrations before the window closes.
  • Once the deadline passes, clubs cannot register new players until the winter window opens in January 2027, though free agents remain eligible for registration.
