The Argentina international’s deal means he will remain at the Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2031.
At just 25, Fernández is armed with a wealth of top-level experience, having won four major trophies during his time playing on homeland with both Defensa y Justicia and River Plate, before helping Benfica on their way to Primeira Liga success and becoming a key member of the Chelsea team that won the UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup in 2025.
Indeed, during his time in west London he developed a reputation as one of the most technically gifted central midfielders in the Premier League.
And at international level, he won the 2022 World Cup and 2024 Copa America with Argentina, before appearing in another World Cup final this summer as La Albiceleste lost to Spain in the final.
Fernández says he could not be happier to have joined City at this stage of his career.
On joining Manchester City, Fernández said: “Manchester City are the most successful club in England in recent times.
“Every player wants to be part of a club like this because everyone knows how well-run City are.
“I could not be happier to be here, and I am ready for the challenge of helping City continue winning trophies. This is a club built for success.
“If you look across the squad, City have quality in every area. I want to learn from my new teammates and become a better player.
“I pride myself on continually improving my game. Anyone who’s worked with me will know how hard I train every single day and how much I put into matches. I give absolutely everything and I can promise Manchester City that will continue now I’m here.
“I want to thank Hugo, Enzo, Khaldoon and everyone at City who has made this deal possible. I want to take the faith shown in me and repay it as soon as possible.”
