Enzo Fernández joined Manchester City for 145 million euros, the highest fee ever paid by the club, from Chelsea.
At his presentation, he repeated a scene we had already seen: he placed his hand over the crest and touched it with the devotion of a lifelong fan. The problem is that he had made exactly the same gesture with the Chelsea and Benfica shirts, his previous clubs.
The videos circulated together, and the fans were quick to recall some old words from Diego Latorre: “The player serves a social and sporting system and grows within that context. Not only does he allow and condone disloyalty, but he also practices it”. A phrase that is once again being debated whenever a footballer swears eternal love to a shirt he will change in a couple of seasons.
