The future of Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández remains a subject of speculation as the transfer window nears its conclusion. While Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso publicly stated that the 25-year-old is currently a Chelsea player, he notably stopped short of guaranteeing that the club would reject potential offers from Manchester City.

Chelsea reportedly set an unofficial deadline for clubs to submit written bids of £120 million for the Argentine international, a date that has already passed. Despite this, rumors of a departure persist. Manchester City is currently in the process of a midfield rebuild following the departure of Rodri to Barcelona. In addition to monitoring Fernández, City is also reportedly tracking Roma midfielder Manu Koné as they weigh their options for the final days of the transfer window.

The situation highlights the ongoing volatility in the transfer market, as clubs navigate squad needs against high valuation demands. While Alonso’s comments acknowledge the player's current status, the lack of a definitive commitment to keep him at Stamford Bridge has fueled further media speculation regarding a potential late-window move.
