When the forecast shows fortune, fame, and a great chance of trophies, the ambient temperatures don’t matter much. According to The Athletic, Real Madrid-linked Enzo Fernández is on Manchester City’s shortlist for the summer transfer window, as they look to replace departing club legend Bernardo Silva and look to bolster their midfield options, especially given the uncertain future (contractually, physically) of Rodri as well.
