'Mr. 145 million'. Enzo Fernández heads to City, matches record and fulfills "dream"

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 19:42

The Argentine player Enzo Fernández, former Benfica player, swaps Chelsea for Manchester City in a deal valued at 145 million pounds, making him the most expensive signing in the history of the Citizens.

With this transfer, Fernández matches the record of Swede Alexander Isak, becoming, alongside the Newcastle forward, the most expensive player in Premier League history.

The transfer represents the fulfillment of a "dream" for the Argentine midfielder, who now joins the club managed by Pep Guardiola.

Fernández had arrived at Chelsea in January 2023, coming precisely from Benfica, where he stood out before heading to the Premier League.
