In the closing hours of the transfer window, Manchester City completed the signing of Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for £125 million, matching the joint-British transfer record and pushing their summer expenditure to an unprecedented £458 million. The deal resolves months of uncertainty for the 25-year-old Argentine, whose desire to leave Stamford Bridge had strained his relationship with supporters and club alike. It speaks to a broader moment in football's economy — where ambition, identity, and vast sums of money converge to reshape institutions in a single season.
