Manchester City is on all fronts. This evening, the English will challenge Paris Saint-Germain in a crucial meeting in the Champions League. At the same time, the Skyblues are fully engaged in the transfer window. They have already formalized the arrivals of Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov, while awaiting that of Omar Marmoush. But the English champions do not intend to stop there, as they particularly want to get their hands on a midfielder. The name of Douglas Luiz is mentioned. In defense, Andrea Cambiaso (Juventus) is a target to compensate for the loss of Kyle Walker, who is closing in on AC Milan.
For him, the residents of the Etihad Stadium are ready to drop between €60 and €65 million. But Juve wants €80 million. Finally, the Mancunians are also interested in the young Juma Bah (18 years old). As explained on our site, they want to buy the Real Valladolid player this winter before potentially sending him out on loan. He could also arrive at Lens to replace Khusanov, who left for City. Yesterday, we also made it clear to you that there are still many details to be resolved in this matter.
He wants to pay his release clause to sign for City
And indeed, there is still a long way to go to reach an agreement for the 18-year-old defender. This Wednesday, Marca explains that the player is in the process of arm wrestling with his management in order to force his departure to Manchester City. Indeed, the Iberian media explains that Juma Bah's agents informed the club's management of their client's desire to pay his €6 million release clause alone after failing to find an agreement for his departure yesterday. The defender has the right to settle his release clause as stipulated in La Liga regulations.
Marca adds that Valladolid, which was discussing a sale of €8 million, is very annoyed. Especially since he could lose his player for an amount lower than what the club wants. For its part, the Juma Bah clan defends itself and explains that it never accepted an extension offer from Valladolid which only pays it 2,500 euros per month. He is one of the lowest paid players in La Liga. The 18-year-old, who should receive support from City to settle his clause with the RFEF (Spanish football federation), holds the cards in his hands.
