What happened. Manchester City did not submit a £120m bid for Enzo Fernandez before the deadline, and Chelsea sources expect him to stay until the end of the season.

• Fernandez wants a higher base salary, as Chelsea contracts are incentivised.
• Alonso gave little away about Fernandez, only confirming he's a great player.
• Chelsea don't want the saga to dominate press conferences.

“He was glowing in his praise when it came to players like Reece James and Cole Palmer. But he gave very little away when it came to Enzo Fernandez.”

— James Savundra

If Fernandez stays, he will be a massive part of Alonso's plans, but the saga may continue.
