Chelsea Targets Replacement for Enzo Fernandez Amid Manchester City Negotiations

Chelsea is reportedly looking for a replacement for Enzo Fernandez as discussions with Manchester City regarding the midfielder heat up ahead of the transfer deadline.

Manchester City is expected to make a £120 million offer for Fernandez, who is reportedly open to the move. Chelsea, however, has stated they would only consider selling for around £140 million, and no formal offer matching that valuation has been received yet.

In the meantime, Chelsea has reached out to Bournemouth regarding Alex Scott, having had three bids rejected for the England international. Other potential targets include Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace and Manu Kone from AS Roma. With the transfer window closing on September 1, the outcome of Fernandez's situation remains uncertain.
