Juma Bah is reportedly closing in on joining Manchester City after the Premier League champions secured the verbal agreement to land him.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Juma Bah is on the verge of sealing a move to Manchester City. The defending Premier League champions have been uncharacteristically active in the winter transfer window, pursuing at least four deals, with Bah the latest to close in on a move to the Etihad.
The Citizens have secured the verbal agreement to sign the 2006-born prodigy in the winter transfer window. Interestingly, Bah will not slot into the first-team squad at the Etihad straightaway, with Manchester City deciding to loan him to RC Lens, taking advantage of the strengthening relations between the two clubs.
The rise of Juma Bah
Juma Bah has risen in prominence since arriving in Spain in the summer transfer window. The 18-year-old spent most of his formative years in his homeland and graduated from the youth division at AIK Freetong. However, the move to Real Valladolid has seen him appear on the radar of high-profile clubs across Europe.
The teenage sensation has amassed nearly 1,000 minutes of game time across 13 appearances in all competitions for Real Valladolid. The Sierra Leonean prodigy has thus established himself as one of the best young prospects in La Liga, with his exploits capturing the attention of European bigwigs, including Manchester City.
A big move beckons
Manchester City’s interest in Juma Bah was perplexing after they came close to signing Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov. The latter has already joined the Premier League champions, while the former is on the cusp of arriving from Palmeiras. So, it is unclear how the 2006-born African prodigy will fit into the scheme of things.
Nevertheless, Bah is on the verge of joining Manchester City, with the Premier League champions striking a verbal agreement to sign him in the winter transfer window. Interestingly, Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the Citizens will sign the teenage sensation from Real Valladolid instead of AIK Freetong.
Meanwhile, the 18-year-old might join RC Lens on loan, with Manchester City discussing a deal with the Ligue 1 outfit. The two clubs share a healthy relationship after the negotiations for Khusanov. So, it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the Sierra Leonean wonderkid.
