Enzo Fernandez is a man who costs a pretty penny.
His transfer to Chelsea from Benfica in 2023 was worth £107m, and his impending move to Manchester City is £18m more than that at £125m - a joint-British transfer record.
So, when completed, he will have cost over £230m in his past two moves and will become the first ever footballer to complete two £100m+ moves. That is a decent bit of money.
He takes with with him a wealth of top-level experience to Manchester.

At only 25, Fernandez has already racked up 285 league appearances across the Argentinian, Portuguese and English top-flights, as well as playing 49 times so far for his country.
He has won the World Cup and Copa America with Argentina, as well as major silverware in every country in which he has played - most recently winning the Club World Cup with Chelsea in 2025.
Across his entire career he has only missed 14 matches through injury and has acted as Chelsea's vice-captain since the summer of 2024.
So, what are your feelings on the deal? Are you getting a fair price for Fernandez? And how will you reflect on his Blues legacy?
