Two Spanish clubs attempted to sign a Man City youngster in January | OneFootball

A pair of Spanish clubs expressed a keen interest in the signature of Manchester City talent Jahmai Simpson-Pusey during the winter transfer window.

That’s according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, who has on Thursday provided an insight into the situation.

Simpson-Pusey, for his part, is a 19-year-old defender, who chiefly operates in a central role.

The England youth international has spent the season to date making a name for himself as something of a breakout talent, notching six appearances for Pep Guardiola’s senior City side.

And, across these outings, Simpson-Pusey did enough to pique the attentions of clubs across the continent.

This comes amid confirmation on the part of Fabrizio Romano that:

‘Real Zaragoza, Rayo Vallecano and Sheffield Wednesday all made an approach to Manchester City to sign Jahmai Simpson-Pusey on loan in January.’

The brass at The Etihad, however, turned down any and all proposals without a 2nd thought, keen to continue overseeing their young stopper’s development for the remainder of the campaign.
