Man City are not interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, as per Fabrizio Romano.The Argentine is looking to leave Stamford Bridge, but his dream transfer to Real Madrid looks to be off the table after the club released a public statement denying any interest in signing him.Instead, it has been suggested that Arsenal and Man City are "gathering information" on Fernandez, but Romano insists that the latter are not keen on him, despite the appointment of his former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.
