12 August 2026, 20:50 | Updated: 14 August 2026, 15:22
Chelsea are yet to receive a bid for Enzo Fernandez from Manchester City - with their imposed deadline of 5pm Friday fast approaching.
City are interested in the midfielder, who shared a strong relationship with Enzo Maresca when he was Chelsea boss.
Chelsea value Fernandez at £120m and he has six years left on his contract.
Speaking earlier on Friday, ahead of the Community Shield meeting with Arsenal, Maresca hinted that City are unlikely to move for Enzo before Chelsea's proposed cutoff.
When asked directly about the deadline, Maresca said: "Not today to be honest, I don't think we're going to do something today."
If City do not meet Chelsea's demands, they do not intend to sell Fernandez in this window or the winter window. They have not received any bids for the 25-year-old so far this summer.
