Enzo Fernandez\u2019s move to Manchester City remains a possibility on deadline day as Chelsea look to find a replacement before pressing the green light \u2013 but Gary Neville is not so sure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fernandez<\/a> continues to be touted with a move to Man City. At this stage, it is believed that everything is in place for the World Cup winner to move to Enzo Maresca\u2019s side. All that is missing is a replacement.<\/p>\n

DEADLINE DAY: Who do you want Chelsea to sign before the 11pm deadline?<\/h3>\n

Chelsea are in the market for a midfielder\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Chelsea<\/a> were believed to be close to a deal for Monaco\u2019s Lamine Camara, even though Filipe Luis made it publicly clear that he hoped Camara would remain<\/a>. The Senegal star sparkled for Monaco on Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, talks have cooled, and Chelsea are now focusing on Roma\u2019s Manu Kone before the deadline. Whether Chelsea can get a deal done before the deadline and Fernandez departs remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Everything Gary Neville said about Enzo Fernandez\u2019s future<\/h2>\n

Despite all the noise and all the reports involving Fernandez, Gary Neville <\/a>does not believe a move to Man City will materialise. He believes that if a move was going to happen, it would have already happened.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Gary Neville podcast<\/a> after Arsenal\u2019s 1-0 win over Aston Villa, Neville believes Xabi Alonso has told Fernandez he won\u2019t be involved so he can \u201ckeep his head down\u201d, instead of actually going.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Enzo Fernandez, that one would have happened, wouldn\u2019t it? That can\u2019t happen tomorrow, can it? He wasn\u2019t in the squad on Sunday. I wonder if the manager has just said \u2018look, you\u2019re not moving\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018I know you\u2019re disappointed, I know you\u2019re annoyed, I know you feel frustrated that we\u2019ve not let you go for less money or whatever the reason is, have three or four days off, come and see us on Wednesday’\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018You\u2019re not going anywhere\u2019 \u2013 that is a tactic that managers use sometimes. Or have they said we\u2019ll try and make this transfer happen? I suspect it\u2019s the former. There\u2019s no noise, there\u2019s nothing happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a case of Chelsea saying, just get your head down and have a couple of days off, keep away from Stamford Bridge for a period where fans know you want to leave, but you\u2019re not,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cI played at Man United for 20 years, and there were a couple of players that signalled they wanted to leave, but when they stayed, everything was fine. The lads in the dressing room will be fine with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey understand a career is short; you have to do the best you can. Nothing personal against Chelsea; it\u2019s a huge opportunity to play for City. I think he remains at Chelsea. Gut instinct, no inside information.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manu Kone looks like the frontrunner, but who else could join?<\/h2>\n

Roma are likely to be open to the sale of Kone, with the Serie A side in need of a sale. Interest in Jamie Gittens from the Serie A side could actually help Chelsea get a deal done for Kone before the deadline.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s your DREAM Enzo Fernandez replacement if the Argentine leaves Chelsea? \ud83e\udd29<\/h3>\n

We want to know who and WHY?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Interest in Camara may remain despite talks cooling, and it could simply require Chelsea to increase their offer. Morgan Gibbs-White is a player Chelsea admire, according to BBC Sport reporter Sami Mokbel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Players like Alex Scott, Adam Wharton and Eduardo Camavinga remain unlikely going into the final day. One thing is for sure: if Chelsea sell Fernandez and don\u2019t sign a midfielder, there will be an uproar.<\/p>\n
