Cucurella: I was surprised by Enzo Fernandez's move to Manchester City

Mark Cucurella spoke about his reaction to the transfer of Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea to Manchester City. The Spanish defender admitted that the news about the transfer of his teammate was a surprise for him. According to Cucurella, he did not expect Fernandez to leave the London club. The Spaniard was convinced the Argentine midfielder would continue to play for Chelsea after his potential move to Real fell through. "I was genuinely surprised when I saw the announcement on Instagram about his transfer to Manchester City. I was sure that he would stay at Chelsea after the failure of the transfer to Real," said Cucurella. Fernandez spent several seasons with Chelsea after joining from Benfica in January 2023. The Argentine quickly became one of the key players of the London team and regularly received a place in the main team. However, during the summer transfer window, there was a lot of talk about the future midfielder. Fernandez was linked with Real Madrid, but the parties failed to agree on a transfer to the Madrid club. As a result, the footballer changed Chelsea to Manchester City on the last day of the summer transfer window. The English club paid 125 million pounds for the Argentine. The amount of the transfer became a repetition of the British transfer record.
