Throughout a busy summer transfer window, one of the biggest talking points for both Chelsea and Manchester City fans has been the rumoured transfer of Enzo Fernández.
DAZN News has analysed some of the big questions surrounding this time-limited deal.
Is Enzo Fernández worth the money?
In 2023, Fernández joined Chelsea for £107m, which was a British transfer record at the time, and his stay at Stamford Bridge has been a mixed bag.
His start in London was mired in inconsistency before he picked up the pace last season when he excelled.
He scored 16 goals and set up a further 10 in all competitions and was a standout in a struggling Chelsea side that slumped to a 10th-place finish.
Fernández had an especially strong relationship with current Man City and former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, who was sacked by the Blues in January.

Where would Fernández fit in at Man City?
After the big-money signing of Elliot Anderson at Manchester City, one wonders where Fernández would fit in at City.
Any move for Fernández would likely be to partner Anderson at the base of midfield. That move would likely result in, or follow, the departure of Rodri, who is expected to sign for Barcelona.
When he managed the midfielder at Chelsea, Maresca used Fernández in a number 10 role, which would mean displacing Rayan Cherki or Phil Foden.
However, having flexibility is a good trait to have, but at £120m it would be expected that the Argentinian would be a starter.

Would it be a good deal for Chelsea?
Fernández has made it very clear that he is keen to leave the London side for pastures new, so a move away from Chelsea could be the best for all parties.
He would provide financial power for Chelsea to bring in a replacement, but Xabi Alonso may want to invest that money elsewhere in the squad.
Roméo Lavia is an option to replace Fernández in a deeper role, but the Belgian has had a string of fitness issues during his time with the Blues.
If he is seen as a player to play further forward, then they may have enough. Cole Palmer and João Pedro are both options, and the arrival of Morgan Rogers boosts that selection.
