Enzo has reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City over personal terms, but the midfielder’s proposed transfer cannot be completed until the clubs reach an agreement, according to renowned transfer expert Romano.
Manchester City have yet to submit an official offer to Chelsea, meaning the move remains dependent on negotiations between the two Premier League clubs. Although the player has agreed the terms of a potential contract with City, no final decision can be made until Chelsea receive and consider a formal proposal.
Contact between the clubs is expected to take place soon. Chelsea are in control of the asking price and will determine the financial conditions required for any deal to progress.
The uncertainty surrounding Enzo’s future could affect his immediate availability for Chelsea. He may miss the club’s match this weekend, after being left out of the squad for their 2-0 Carabao Cup victory over Luton in midweek.
That omission came as reports of City’s interest gathered pace. Enzo’s agreement on personal terms represents an important step in the proposed transfer, but it does not constitute a completed deal. The clubs must still negotiate the transfer itself, with Manchester City’s official offer still awaited.
For now, the situation remains unresolved. Enzo has reached an understanding with City, while Chelsea retain control over the next stage because of their position in negotiations and their authority over the player’s valuation.
A personal-terms agreement allows a player and a prospective club to settle issues such as the contract’s conditions, but the transfer cannot be finalised without the selling club’s approval. In this case, that means City and Chelsea must first reach common ground.
The latest development follows Enzo’s absence from Chelsea’s midweek Carabao Cup fixture against Luton. Chelsea won that match 2-0, but the midfielder was not named in the squad.
Further discussions between the clubs are now expected, with the outcome likely to decide whether Enzo remains at Chelsea or completes a move to Manchester City. Until an official offer is made and accepted, the transfer remains dependent on the negotiations.
