Men's transfer grades: Man City get a C for Enzo Fernández
The 2026 summer transfer window has closed. Here is how we rated the biggest deals.
The transfer window has officially closed, and teams are looking to make an impact in the upcoming tour season. Manchester City's signing of Enzo Fernández has garnered a C grade, which might come as a surprise to some fans. While Fernández is undoubtedly a talented player, the hefty price tag and competition for playing time might make this signing less impactful than City fans had hoped.
In the context of the tour season, this grade matters because it reflects the high expectations surrounding Manchester City's performance. As one of the top teams, City is expected to compete for major titles, and the Fernández signing was seen as a key addition to their squad. A C grade suggests that the team may not have addressed all their needs or may have overpaid for a player who may not make an immediate impact.
What's next to watch is how Fernández integrates into the team and whether he can live up to his potential. City fans will be eager to see him make a difference on the pitch, particularly in the early stages of the tour season. Additionally, keep an eye on other top teams that made significant transfers and how they perform in the upcoming season. Will teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, or Real Madrid make a strong push for the top spots, or will there be new challengers emerging? The tour season is shaping up to be an exciting one, and fans will be eagerly following their favorite teams' progress.
