Key Summary
The 2026/27 EPL summer transfer window closed at 23:00 BST on September 1, 2026. One of the most notable confirmed deals immediately after the deadline was Enzo Fernández’s move from Chelsea to Manchester City.
Manchester City signed Enzo Fernández to a five-year contract, which will run until the summer of 2031, according to the club’s official announcement.
Essential Facts
- Enzo Fernández: Chelsea → Manchester City
- Contract: Five years, through the summer of 2031
- Transfer fee: Sky Sports listed it as £125 million
- EFE and El País listed the same deal at approximately €145 million
- Manchester City also signed Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest and Iliman Ndiaye from Everton, each on five-year contracts
Enzo Fernández’s move to Manchester City is a confirmed transfer verified by official club announcements and deadline-day reports.
The difference in the reported transfer fee comes from the original currency and the standards used for conversion and presentation. The most accurate approach is therefore to consider both source-specific figures: £125 million and approximately €145 million.
