Enzo Fernández Man City transfer and 115 charges

Manchester City's first season with Enzo Fernández in the squad is going to be shadowed by a disciplinary case that hasn't closed yet. That's the part that lingers. Go back to September 1. City wrapped up the signing for £125 MILLION, a fee that puts the move among the most expensive transfers ever completed. Fernández put pen to paper on a deal running through 2031, and when he was presented he talked about feeling "at home" and gave his word he'd bring 100% every single day. He picked the project Enzo Maresca is running. Chelsea had wanted negotiations done by an August deadline, but the finish line slipped all the way to the final day of the transfer window. Real Madrid, for their part, had already said publicly during the summer that they weren't getting involved in any bidding. Then the timeline turns. Weeks after the transfer went through, an independent commission found City guilty on 114 of the 115 charges that were investigated. No official sanction has landed on the club. A fine is one possibility. A points deduction is another. Something harsher hasn't been ruled out either. So you've got the biggest fee, the contract to 2031, the presentation quotes, the deadline drama, the Madrid exit, the Maresca project, and then a guilty verdict sitting there without a punishment attached. The transfer is done. The other thing isn't.
