Manchester City have not entered negotiations to sign Enzo Fernandez, despite fresh reports linking the Chelsea midfielder with a move to the Etihad Stadium.
According to the latest information reaching Softfootball, there are no talks between City and the Argentina international at this stage, with any decision regarding Fernandez’s future expected to be postponed until after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The update follows the collapse of speculation surrounding a potential move to Real Madrid. The Spanish giants recently issued an official statement firmly denying any interest in signing the Chelsea star.
In a strongly worded response, Real Madrid dismissed the rumours, stating they had “no intention” of pursuing Fernandez and had made no direct or indirect contact with either the player or his representatives.
The clarification has effectively ended speculation over a move to the Santiago Bernabéu, while reports linking the midfielder to Manchester City have also been played down.
Fernandez remains fully focused on Argentina’s World Cup campaign, with his representatives expected to evaluate his club future only once the tournament concludes.
With the World Cup taking priority, any potential transfer discussions are expected to resume only after Argentina’s campaign comes to an end, as Chelsea await further developments regarding one of their most valuable players.
