The 25-year-old Argentina international joined City from Chelsea for a joint-British record £125m on deadline day, and Maresca has stated that Fernandez is "ready" to make his City debut against newly promoted Coventry City in the Premier League at Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Maresca has praised Fernandez's winning mentality, saying that he knows how to win after the World Cup and Club World Cup. Fernandez was also captain at Chelsea under Maresca, but Ruben Dias has been confirmed as the new City skipper, replacing Bernardo Silva.
Maresca has expressed his happiness with the new signings, including Fernandez, and believes that the squad is now complete.
