Chelsea's stance and deadline
Chelsea set a deadline and demanded 140 million euros, and because no club placed that amount on the Tisch, the move appeared dead.
Fabrizio Romano and Florian Plettenberg report that the Cityzens have not given up hope and plan to make an offer for the 25‑year‑old before the deadline day.
Chelsea have not categorically ruled out a sale, stating that a deal could go through if the price is right and they still have time to improve the squad.
After a 3‑2 victory over FC Fulham, Xabi Alonso said, “In football nothing surprises me anymore. We will see what happens this week,” when asked about Fernandez’s future.
In addition to Bouaddi, City are close to signing Brazilian winger Allan for up to 40 million euros and have been linked with Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, suggesting intensive days at the Etihad Stadium could end with two more million‑deal Transfers.
