Manchester City Players Eager for Enzo Fernandez's Arrival

Manager Enzo Maresca revealed that multiple Manchester City players were eager to know if Enzo Fernandez would join the club in the final days of the transfer window. Fernandez, who previously worked with Maresca at Chelsea, transferred to City for a British record fee of £125 million on deadline day.

Maresca stated that Fernandez is prepared to make his debut against Coventry City in the Premier League. He emphasized Fernandez's winning mentality, noting his experience from the World Cup and Club World Cup. While Maresca named Ruben Dias as the new City captain, he acknowledged that the squad was excited about Fernandez's arrival.

Fernandez had expressed a long-standing desire to join a club of City's stature, which he hinted at during an interview, suggesting a discontent with his time at Chelsea. City made significant investments in the transfer window, totaling £458 million, while also managing to recoup over £300 million from player sales. Maresca expressed satisfaction with the club's efforts to strengthen the squad.
