Manchester City are being linked with a move for Enzo Fernandez as the transfer window enters its final stages, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Argentine midfielder is among several players reportedly attracting interest from the Etihad Stadium outfit as clubs look to strengthen before the deadline.
Romano revealed on social media that Fernandez to Manchester City carries a 56% likelihood, alongside other potential moves such as Gabriel Martinelli to Al-Hilal and Julian Alvarez to Arsenal. The claims come as Pep Guardiola’s side prepare for their next fixture against Coventry City at home on 2026-09-05.
The Blues currently lead the Premier League table with six points from two games, having won both matches to start the season. They have scored six goals and conceded just two, giving them a +4 goal difference and recent form of WW. Rafael Leao is not involved, but R. Cherki has emerged as the club’s top scorer this season with two goals in two appearances.
Speculation around Fernandez has intensified due to his experience in high-pressure environments and previous links with English clubs. While no official bid has been confirmed, Romano’s track record suggests the rumour carries weight, particularly as Manchester City aim to add depth in midfield ahead of a congested autumn schedule.
The club’s current squad depth will be tested early next month, with the Coventry fixture coming shortly after the transfer window slams shut.

Despite the interest in Fernandez, Manchester City’s focus remains on integrating new arrivals and maintaining their strong start to the campaign. The next training session will likely involve tactical work on transition play, an area where the Argentine could potentially fit if a move were to materialise.
Any potential deal would need to comply with Premier League regulations and financial fair play rules, though no fee or personal terms have been disclosed in the reports so far. The situation remains fluid, with less than a week left for clubs to complete their business.
Manchester City will host Coventry at the Etihad on 2026-09-05, looking to extend their winning run to three matches as they aim to defend their title challenge from the outset.
