Manchester City are still in active discussions with Enzo Fernandez's representatives ahead of Chelsea's transfer deadline later this evening.

The Cityzens have been trying to put together a move for the Argentina international from Chelsea, who have set a 5pm deadline today for City to satisfy their terms.

Chelsea have placed a £120m price tag on Fernandez and have made it clear that the midfielder will not be sold if that amount is not paid today.

Enzo Maresca has identified Fernandez as his leading midfield target as City look to reshape the centre of the pitch.

The club are preparing to sell Tijjani Reijnders to Al Qadsiah after agreeing a £51m transfer with the Saudi Pro League outfit, while negotiations with Barcelona over a move for Rodri are still continuing.

Fabrizio Romano has issued an update on what he described as 'Enzo Fernandez day', stressing that Chelsea are 'serious' about the firm public line they have taken.

The West London club want £120m for Fernandez, a fee that would make him Manchester City's most expensive signing ever. It would also be the club's second record transfer of the summer after Elliot Anderson joined from Nottingham Forest for £116m.

Chelsea have rejected claims that they have already received a €120m (£102m) offer for Fernandez, despite those reports. Their position remains unchanged: £120m today or no deal.
