Manchester City Undercut Inter Chase of La Liga Starlet

Inter had laid eyes on Juma Bah as part of their strategy to sign more youngsters, but Manchester City beat them to the punch, although the way they did it irked Real Valladolid. He’ll activate his €6M release clause, while the Nerazzurri were willing to spend a little more to bring him in next summer, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

The youngster had a much higher valuation in his team’s mind. He’ll join the Premier League giants and will then be loaned out to Lens as part of the Abdukodir Khusanov deal.

Real Valladolid reacted harshly to the turn of events.

“Bah and his agent informed us of the intention of rescinding the contract between the parties unilaterally. On Tuesday, Manchester City formally communicated that they wanted to open a negotiation for a permanent transfer. Instead, he decided not to show up for practice on Wednesday.” “For these reasons, the Club believes that the player has breached his contractual duties and has mandated its legal office to start a disciplinary action. The player’s move, presumably supported by Manchester City and his agent, is source of great disappointment and indignation.”

The 18-year-old has shined in 12 La Liga appearances this campaign. Despite a lengthy negotiation with Newell’s Old Boys, Inter aren’t yet close to signing Tomas Perez. Instead, Mateo Silvetti has been removed from the talks and will stay in Argentina for at least six more months as the parties were distant from agreeing on his price tag. On the other hand, he has a short-term contract.
