Manchester City Wanted Bayern Munich Midfielder Before Signing Enzo Fernández
Story updated
The story in brief
31-second readWhy Manchester City signed Enzo Fernandez From the way Enzo Fernández has slotted into Enzo Maresca and Manchester City’s midfield during the opening weeks of the brand new season, it is easy to forget that the Argentine only made his debut a month ago.
However, if fresh reports from German media are now to be believed, the former Chelsea and Benfica star was not the club’s first choice as Hugo Viana and his transfer colleagues scoured the summer market for reinforcements.
Behind the scenes over the summer transfer window, Manchester City recruitment staff allegedly had their eye on a different name entirely, and pushed hard to land him before being knocked back.
