What happened. Manchester City have until Friday 5pm to sign Enzo Fernandez for £120million, with new boss Enzo Maresca keen on a reunion.

• Maresca resigned as Chelsea manager in January to take the City job.
• Fernandez was handed the captain's armband despite a racism row.
• He was often called over for instructions even when club captain was on pitch.

“Maresca joked recently that Erling Haaland could not possibly be his captain at City because he demands that his skipper race over to him after every goal to receive fresh instructions.”

— Enzo Maresca

The deadline is set for Friday 5pm, with relations between the clubs strained.
