Swansea City have resigned themselves to losing centre-back Federico Fernandez, according to reports.

The Argentina international made 35 appearances for the Swans in 2017/18 in all competitions, scoring one goal in the Swans' 1-1 draw away to Leicester in February.

While some of the club's key men including Lukasz Fabianski, Angel Rangel and Ki Sung-Yueng have all headed for the exit door, The Sun reports that Swansea will offload Fernandez to cut their wage bill and are now resigned to selling him.

The 29-year-old joined Swansea City from Napoli for an undisclosed fee in August 2014. He initially signed on a four-year deal, and penned a new contract in February 2017 which ties him to the recently-relegated club until 2020.

Prior to his time in Wales, Fernandez helped Napoli to the Coppa Italia in 2013/14 while they finished third in Serie A, and he also featured in their Champions League and Europa League campaigns.

Fernandez started his career with Estudiantes in his homeland before a 3 million euro move to Napoli in July 2011. He also spent time on loan at Spanish club Getafe.

This week saw goalkeeper Fabianski's move to West Ham officially announced amid the Polish keeper's involvement in the Russia World Cup, while Alfie Mawson has also been heavily linked with a move away from south Wales.
