Chelsea are determined not to sell Enzo Fernandez without signing a replacement for the midfielder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

People close to Fernandez are optimistic<\/a> that his move to Manchester City will happen before the transfer window closes on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\n

And City may have moved a step closer to landing the Argentine after Chelsea\u2019s<\/a> own swoop for a new midfielder.<\/p>\n

Journalist Santi Aouna has claimed on X<\/a> that Chelsea have \u201cofficially\u201d made contact with AS Roma about signing Manu Kone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Roma\u2019s stance is Kone is not for sale and the 25-year-old even played for the Italian club on Monday night in their 4-0 win over Lecce.<\/p>\n

However, with Chelsea entering negotiations with Roma, according to Aouna, it looks like a deadline day deal could still be possible.<\/p>\n

It is set to be a busy day at Chelsea, as plenty of exits are also expected. Tosin Adarabioyo and Mykhailo Mudryk are closing in on moves to Tottenham Hotspur, while Robert Sanchez is on his way to Como.<\/p>\n

Adarabioyo and Mudryk were not going to be starters under Xabi Alonso<\/a> this season, while Sanchez lost his spot in the team following the arrival of Emiliano Martinez.<\/p>\n

Sanchez made two costly errors against Fulham, which have effectively ended his Chelsea career.<\/p>\n
