The Argentina international joined City on a five-year contract in a British record-equalling £125 million deal, bringing an end to a transfer saga that dominated the final days of the window.

Fernández wasted little time explaining his excitement, describing City as one of the biggest clubs in the world and admitting he “could not be happier” to begin a new chapter at the Etihad.

The midfielder’s words have been backed up by his performances. Fernández was handed a surprise starting role on his City debut against Coventry City after Nico O’Reilly suffered an injury during the warm-up.

He responded with an influential display, producing the decisive pass that released Antoine Semenyo before the winger’s cross was converted by Erling Haaland for the only goal of the game.

Fernández then continued his promising start in City’s Champions League opener against Porto, helping the new-look midfield cope with a demanding European away fixture as Erling Haaland’s brace secured a 2-0 victory.

Manager Enzo Maresca has also made it clear that Fernández is highly valued inside the dressing room. The City boss revealed that several players had repeatedly asked whether the midfielder would join, highlighting the excitement surrounding his arrival.

For Fernández, the move represents an opportunity to compete for major honours while developing alongside an elite squad. He has already embraced the challenge, promising to give everything for the club.

With City enjoying a perfect start and Fernández quickly adapting to his new surroundings, the early signs suggest the £125 million investment could prove significant in the club’s new era.
