Chelsea give City 5pm Friday deadline to meet £120m Fernandez valuation or walk away

Chelsea have told Manchester City to bid £120 million for Enzo Fernandez by 5pm BST on Friday or abandon the pursuit, according to Sky Sports. City's current offer stands at £102.5 million, per journalist Cesar Luis Merlo — nearly £18 million short. Fernandez is under contract until 2031, but his agent confirmed in July he was "looking at possibilities to leave Chelsea."
