Ultimatum issued hours before plan was scrappedEuropean Football Clubs demanded Infantino back downEurope’s leading clubs threatened not to participate in future Club World Cups unless Gianni Infantino withdrew his Fifa Forward Enterprise scheme, issuing their ultimatum hours before the plan was scrapped.In a letter to the Fifa secretary general, Mattias Grafström, seen by the Guardian, the influential European Football Clubs (EFC) group warned its cooperation with future tournaments would hinge on Infantino backing down. It said the threat will hold unless a joint venture between EFC and Fifa – a framework for which has already been agreed – is completed before television rights can be sold for the 2028 Women’s Club World Cup.

Manchester City and other interested parties did not lodge a bid for the Argentina midfielder ahead of the 5pm cut-off, with the Blues insistent that the chances of a departure are all but over.
So, what would Man City get for their £120million if they choose to pay up for Enzo? Well, what some might call a 'character'. Maresca, though, gets a player he trusts more than any other.

Chelsea set a deadline of Friday at 17:00 BST for offers for Manchester City target Enzo Fernandez, who they value at £120m. The potential move would see the Argentina midfielder link up again with new City boss Enzo Maresca, who was formerly his manager at Chelsea. A potential deal for Fernandez relies on City selling Rodri, officially the best player at the 2026 World Cup among numerous other accolades, to Barcelona.
Speculation is swirling around two of the Premier League's leading midfielders. As Barcelona push to sign Rodri, Manchester City are being linked with a move for Enzo Fernandez. But why does the Chelsea player have a much higher transfer value?
