Enzo reveals why he joined Man City

Ex-Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández has explained his decision to join Manchester City, saying he is ready for a new challenge and determined to help the club continue winning trophies

The Argentina international completed his move from Chelsea to City in a British-record transfer worth £125m. Fernández said City’s winning mentality and the quality within the squad played a major role in his decision to make the move.

Fernandez was quoted as saying, “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,” Fernández said.

The 25-year-old also revealed his desire to learn from his new teammates and continue developing as a player. “If you look across the squad, City have quality in every area. I want to learn from my new teammates and become a better player,” he added.

Fernández will also reunite with manager Enzo Maresca, whom he previously worked with during Maresca’s time at Chelsea. The midfielder arrives at City after a turbulent period at Chelsea, where he was booed by sections of the supporters before eventually leaving the club.

Despite the difficult circumstances surrounding his departure, Fernández insisted he remains grateful to Chelsea. “Chelsea will always be in my heart,” he said in an open letter to the club.

However, Fernández is now focused on his new chapter at Manchester City and has promised to give everything for his new team. “I give absolutely everything and I can promise Manchester City that I will continue now I’m here,” he said.
