Early yesterday, rumors of a late-window move began circulating among football journalists. By midday, Fabrizio Romano confirmed the deal with the 'HERE WE GO' designation, signaling the finality of the agreement. Within hours, reports indicated that Fernández was traveling to Manchester to undergo a medical examination. By late evening, the transfer dominated sports news cycles and social media, with fans and analysts debating the impact of the record-breaking fee on the current season's competitive balance.
