Manchester City have completed the signing of Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for a joint-British transfer record £125 million, taking their spending to a Premier League record £458 million in a single transfer window.
Fernandez’s move matches the £125 million Liverpool paid for Alexander Isak on transfer deadline day last summer and marks City’s second club-record signing in two months.
City’s spending surpasses Liverpool’s previous Premier League record of £415 million in a single window last summer. However, the champions have also generated about £300 million from player sales this summer.
The clubs reached an agreement on Tuesday after negotiating the deal over the previous 24 hours.
Fernandez joined Chelsea from Benfica in 2023 for a then-British record £107 million. The 25-year-old Argentina international now leaves Stamford Bridge after just over three years at the club.
