I want to go — Chelsea star desperate to join Maresca at Man City

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez wants to join Manchester City and work with Enzo Maresca at the Etihad Stadium, according to reports.

Fernandez has been at Chelsea since February 2023 and remains under contract at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2032.

The 25-year-old Argentina international has established himself as one of the most important and consistent performers for the club.

Incoming Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso views him as a key leader in the squad and is keen to keep him at the club.

Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg reported that Enzo Maresca is keen to sign his former Chelsea player.

Maresca, who is set to replace Pep Guardiola at the Etihad, previously worked with Fernández during his time at Chelsea.

Reports claim that talks have already taken place between Maresca and Fernández over a potential summer switch, while the player is 100% open to the move as he wants to play Champions League football.

This potential summer-long transfer saga comes after a difficult season for Fernández, who was suspended by Chelsea earlier in the campaign following controversial comments about his future at the club.
