You want to play hardball? Well, that won’t work. Chelsea have decided to put an end to the uncertainty and prevent Manchester City from dragging the Enzo Fernandez saga out for several more episodes. So they have issued an ultimatum: a deadline by which the deal must be completed, otherwise City will have to forget about the Argentine midfielder. According to British media reports, Chelsea officials have told their Manchester counterparts that they have until Friday at 6 p.m. local time to submit an official offer for Fernandez. And not just any offer — it must be exactly 120,000,000 pounds. That is more than they paid Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson. If City fail to meet the deadline, the door will be slammed shut and the Argentine midfielder will remain at Stamford Bridge. There will be no discount, no bargaining, and Chelsea have even specified the exact payment structure they expect.🚨MORE ON ENZO FERNANDEZ: Xabi Alonso wants a settled squad by the time Chelsea kick off their..

The long-standing flirtation between Cristian Romero and Atletico Madrid has finally come to an end after more than two years. Los Colchoneros launched another offensive for the Argentina international this summer and, according to British Sky Sports, there are no obstacles remaining — “Cuti” Romero will become a new Atletico player, finally fulfilling Diego Simeone’s wish. Atletico will pay Tottenham 35 million euros up front, with a further five million in bonuses, while Spurs will also retain 15% of any future sale. Simeone has never hidden his admiration for his compatriot and had already told Atletico’s hierarchy last June that he wanted Romero in his squad. The first serious contacts were established back in 2024 after the Copa America, while Romero himself spoke in May last year about his desire to play in La Liga.Spurs: Pride, belief and captain’s betrayalThe main obstacle at the time was Tottenham’s 70 million euros asking price, which forced Atletico to explore other options…
