Manchester City midfielder, Enzo Fernández, has thanked the club’s supporters for the warm welcome he has received since completing his move from Chelsea, saying he already feels “at home”.

The Argentina midfielder joined City on a five-year contract in a deal reported to be worth £125 million, making it a joint British-record transfer.

Fernández said the reception from City supporters had helped him settle quickly and was important for his confidence.

“I want to thank them, thank them for the welcome. I’m honestly feeling at home, and that is very important for a player’s confidence,” he said.

The 25-year-old also promised to give his maximum effort as he looks to help City compete for silverware during the 2026/27 season.

“I’m going to give 100% every day, in every training session and every match, to help this club achieve all its objectives throughout the season.”

Fernández said he wants to win trophies with his new teammates and enjoy the experience with the supporters.

The midfielder has already made an early impact for City, starting their 2-0 Champions League victory over Porto and also featuring in the 1-0 win over Coventry City.

The move has also reunited Fernández with City manager Enzo Maresca, who previously coached him at Chelsea.

Fernández has spoken positively about their relationship and welcomed the opportunity to work with the Italian again.

“He is a top manager, honestly. I had him at my previous club. They were incredible moments. I learned so much with him,” Fernández said.

Maresca also praised Fernández and fellow new midfielders Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi after their early performances for City.

The manager said the trio had already made an impact as City began life under his leadership following Pep Guardiola’s departure at the end of the 2025/26 season.
