Manchester City have equalled the British transfer record by signing Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for £125m.
The Argentina midfielder has signed a five-year contract at the Etihad Stadium as City took their summer spending to around £435m, more than £325m of it on midfielders.
Chelsea countenanced the sale of Fernandez, who cost them £107m in 2023, even though their attempt to bring in Lamine Camara from Monaco broke down when the Ligue 1 club pulled out of the £47m deal.
Fernandez, who joins Alexander Isak as the joint biggest buy a Premier League club has ever made, said: "Manchester City are the most successful club in England in recent times. Every player wants to be part of a club like this because everyone knows how well-run City are.
"I could not be happier to be here, and I am ready for the challenge of helping City continue winning trophies. This is a club built for success.
