Man City Chase Fernandez, Arsenal Eye Alvarez On Transfer Deadline Day
Manchester City are pushing to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, while Arsenal are pursuing Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez as Premier League clubs make final moves before the transfer window closes.
Manchester City are making a late push to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, while Arsenal are targeting Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid on transfer deadline day.
Premier League clubs have until 10 p.m. GMT on Tuesday to complete their domestic transfer business, with City and Arsenal among the clubs seeking major additions to their squads.
City are keen on Fernandez as manager Enzo Maresca looks to strengthen his midfield following the departure of Rodri to Barcelona, alongside other midfield exits.
Chelsea are understood to value Fernandez at about £120 million, while City have yet to match that valuation.
Fernandez previously joined Chelsea from Benfica for a Premier League-record £106.8 million in January 2023. A move to City could therefore set a new British transfer record if Chelsea secure their asking price.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are exploring a late deal for Alvarez as they seek to strengthen their attack.
The Argentina international is reportedly keen on leaving Atletico Madrid, although the Spanish club have resisted attempts to part with the forward.
Arsenal's interest comes amid other attacking changes at the club, with Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus among the players linked with moves away.
The transfer activity is part of an expected frantic final day, with several Premier League clubs racing to complete deals before the deadline.
Manchester City are also pursuing other attacking options, while Chelsea are preparing potential replacements should Fernandez leave Stamford Bridge.
The final hours of the transfer window are therefore expected to determine the futures of several high-profile players, including Fernandez and Alvarez.
