Enzo Maresca ‘pushing hard’ for Chelsea player to join Manchester City

His successful, albeit brief, stint at Chelsea, where he won the Conference League and Club World Cup, has only solidified his reputation.

With that comes the potential to sign former players, with Enzo Fernandez among the main names on the list. But, his future rides on whether the Blues up their contract offer for him and sign some experienced players come the summer transfer window.

Where will Chelsea finish this season? Will they get a European spot?🤔

Enzo Maresca wants Enzo Fernandez to join Man City

According to Touchline, Enzo Maresca has told Manchester City that Enzo Fernández should be their top priority for the summer transfer window.

The Italian manager, who is expected to succeed Pep Guardiola, is pushing hard to get the deal done.

There’s no guarantee Guardiola will leave Manchester City in the summer, and a lot could depend on Enzo Fernandez‘s views. But one thing that isn’t going in their favour is the fact that Chelsea look set to miss out on Champions League football this season.

Do you think Chelsea should have parted with Enzo Maresca?🤔

Chelsea don’t want to sell to Enzo Maresca

After the falling out involving the Chelsea owners and Enzo Maresca, it’s clear that any kind of business between Man City and the Blues won’t be happening under their watch, unless it benefits them.

“But Enzo Fernandez is interesting because you can imagine Chelsea, were they to sell Enzo Fernandez with potentially, and it’s a hypothetical, Enzo Maresca in charge, getting a call from Man City saying under Enzo Maresca, we want Enzo Fernandez, the vice-captain of Chelsea, the price is going to skyrocket.

“And I don’t see any scenario, if I’m perfectly honest, even with Rodri potentially leaving, where Man City drop the fee required to sign both Enzo Fernandez and Elliot Anderson.”
