Fernandez returned to training earlier this week after the World Cup and the Blues gave their Premier League rivals a deadline of Friday at 5PM to make a move for the 25-year-old.

Fernandez has been looking to leave Stamford Bridge (Picture Mike Egerton/PA Wire) Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca has appeared to rule out a move to sign Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea today. The Argentina international has been considering a move away from Stamford Bridge with doubts over long-term future first emerging back in March. Former Chelsea boss Maresca, who replaced Pep Guardiola in the City hotseat this summer, is thought to be keen on a reunion with his former midfielder. Chelsea have set a deadline of 5pm (BST) this evening for offers to be tabled, standing firm on their £120million valuation.

But speaking ahead of City’s Community Shield showdown with Arsenal on Sunday, Maresca said he was not expecting anything to materialise before that deadline. ‘Not today to be honest,’ Maresca told a press conference. ‘I don’t think we are going to do something today.’ More to follow Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher (Picture: The Overlap) Jamie Carragher can’t understand why Arsenal are considering selling Myles Lewis-Skelly and said it would be a ‘strange’ decision to let the academy graduate leave this summer. Premier League champions Arsenal reportedly offered the 19-year-old England international to both Man United and Chelsea. Lewis-Skelly had a frustrating start to the previous campaign but broke into the team at the business end of the season, becoming the second-youngest Englishman to start a Champions League final when the Gunners lost to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties. However, despite his increased importance to Mikel Arteta, Arsenal are believed to be open to offers after signing Bruno Guimaraes in a £75million deal from Newcastle United.

Additional reports suggest that Lewis-Skelly is keen to remain at Arsenal and fight for his place in the team, and Carragher believes the Gunners would be making a big mistake if they cashed in on the 19-year-old. ‘That’s the thing that was a little bit strange about it,’ he told The Overlap Fan Debate with Sky Bet. ‘It felt almost like Arsenal offered Manchester United Myles Lewis-Skelly. Myles Lewis Skelly has been linked with an Arsenal exit (Picture: Getty) ‘It wasn’t Myles Lewis-Skelly saying, I want to leave, or his people putting something out. That’s where the shock came from, not so much the players’ side of it.’ Carragher continued: ‘I still can’t believe it. Obviously, last season wasn’t great for him for the whole season, but when a young player has already put in performances like I’ve seen him put in at the Bernabeu – maybe over a year or 18 months ago, at left-back, he was running the game at the Bernabeu – and then his performance in the final in central midfield against Paris Saint-Germain. ‘You can’t play at that level unless you’re pretty special at that age. All young players have ups and downs. Last season he didn’t play as much as he probably would have liked. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta (Picture: AFP) ‘But his ceiling is so high for the performances he’s already put in as a 20-year-old kid. I couldn’t believe that Arsenal would even think about letting him go. It does feel like a strange one.’ Lewis-Skelly, who is under contract until 2030, scored during Arsenal’s friendly win over Como on Wednesday and celebrated by making the shape of a heart with his hands towards the crowd at the Emirates. But Arteta remained tight-lipped about the midfielder’s future after the game, insisting: ‘I’m not going to talk about any speculation. ‘If there is a speculation about our players, that’s a good sign. That means that we attract attention and they’re doing a good job.’ Elsewhere, Arsenal are still looking to strengthen defensively and in wide forward areas ahead of the new season. The Gunners have made a second approach for Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa, while the latest reports suggest they have also opened talks to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah.

Xabi Alonso has picked his strongest XI for three of his five matches during pre-season, and all three featured Wesley Fofana. In addition, the club also has a group of players it considers "untouchable", meaning they are not for sale - but Fofana does not feature on that list. It seems unlikely Fofana will leave and, indeed, he wants to stay and believes in a positive future for Chelsea.
