'It's urgent, we can't go on like this': Manchester City, after Rodri's departure, continues pursuit of Buadi and Enzo Fernández simultaneously - 'The 3-goal loss in the Community Shield was a big factor'

Following the departure of Spanish midfielder Rodri, English Premier League club Manchester City is reportedly intensifying efforts to sign both Buadi and Argentinian international Enzo Fernández. The club appears determined to secure both players simultaneously as they seek to bolster their midfield.

Fernández, who currently plays for Chelsea, was reportedly subject to a transfer deadline of 5 p.m. local time on August 14. Chelsea had also set an asking price of 120 million pounds for the 25-year-old midfielder. The urgency of Manchester City's pursuit is underscored by a significant defeat they suffered, losing by three goals in the Community Shield, which sources suggest has prompted a more aggressive approach to player acquisitions.

While the article mentions the pursuit of both Buadi and Fernández, specific details regarding Buadi's current club or transfer status are not provided. The focus remains on Fernández, with Chelsea's stance on his potential transfer and the substantial fee involved highlighting the high stakes of the negotiation. The report from Sky Sports indicates the ongoing nature of these discussions.
