City could maintain interest despite lack of bid Maresca expecting busy end to move window Manchester City did not make a £120m bid for Enzo Fernández before Chelsea’s 5pm deadline on Friday but Enzo Maresca still expects a busy end to the move window, as the team seek incomings and outgoings. In addition, chelsea, at the same time, now expect the Argentina midfielder to stay at Stamford Bridge.
Reports also note that maresca takes charge of City for the first time in a major fixture on Sunday against Arsenal in Cardiff in the Community Shield but is a long way from finalising the squad he will have for the campaign. Further context suggests fernández, who played under Maresca at Chelsea, remains a target for City, who could still test the water despite missing the deadline.
