Chelsea are reportedly prepared to sell Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City “for the right price”, according to Sky Sports. The club’s thinking is that, if the right offer arrives, they can also strengthen the squad before the transfer window closes.

For now, the report says there haven’t been any direct club-to-club talks between City and Chelsea. Still, the player’s status has been a talking point: Fernandez was left out of Chelsea’s Carabao Cup win over Luton on Thursday night.

Deadlines and Alonso’s comments

Fernandez had played in Chelsea’s first Premier League game of the season against Fulham, but he wasn’t involved in the Carabao Cup match versus Luton. Ahead of the weekend, Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso said after the Luton game that Fernandez is a “good professional” and that he has been training well. Alonso added that a decision on whether he will be available for Sunday’s match against Brighton will be taken closer to the time.

The interest from City is said to continue even after Chelsea missed an earlier deadline: they had set August 14 for City to make an offer. Chelsea had agreed with the midfielder’s representatives that he could be sold for £120m by that date, but no bid arrived.

Potential midfield targets

The report also highlights that Chelsea are ready to deal with any possible exits before the deadline. In terms of reinforcements, two midfield names being considered are Alex Scott from Bournemouth and Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace—though both clubs view them as unsellable, per Sky Sports.
