What happened. Manchester City have agreed to pay Chelsea £125m for Enzo Fernandez, smashing their club record transfer fee.
- Maresca made Fernandez his top target after replacing Guardiola.
- Elliot Anderson arrived for £116m earlier this summer, but that record is now broken.
- Fernandez's best position is higher up the pitch, not holding midfield.
The signing continues City's massive spending spree under new manager Enzo Maresca.
