CHELSEA NEWS 🗞️ 🔵

🗣 Sky Sports' Peter Smith: "Man City missed Chelsea's Friday 5pm deadline to bid for £120m-valued Enzo Fernandez. But there's nothing to stop City putting an offer on the table for the Blues to consider in the final days of the window. Chelsea expect Fernandez to stay at the club for the entirety of the 2026/27 season but now City have clarity on Rodri's situation they may feel in a better position to move for the Argentina international."
