What happened. Chelsea told Fernandez's camp he could leave for £120m with a 14 August deadline, but after no formal bids, they now say he's not for sale this window.

• Manchester City remain keen and believe Chelsea still want to deal.
• City have already spent big, including £116m on Elliot Anderson.
• Maresca could oversee over £330m spend if Fernandez and Bouaddi join.

City are bolstering midfield after Rodri agreed to Barcelona, with Fernandez a top target.
