Arsenal don pull out of the race to sign Jeremy Monga, and now Manchester City be the main candidate to get the 16-year-old boy.
The Gunners first make offer wey be around £5 million, but Leicester City reject am. Talks still dey go to find solution.
Because of the player age, if he leave Leicester this summer without agreement, the price go go tribunal. Dem bin dey optimistic say no need for that.
But Manchester City come show face with Enzo Maresca, wey be Monga former coach for Leicester, now dey lead City. City ready to pay amount wey Arsenal no fit.
So Arsenal don withdraw from the negotiation table.
Arsenal also bin dey interested for Vitor Reis and Sverre Nypan, but both of them join Manchester City. Nypan never play senior match for City, and Reis spend last season on loan for Girona.
If Monga complete move to City, e go be third young player wey Arsenal miss to City. This one don make fans vex.
Fans dey complain say Arsenal dey penny pinch, especially as Tottenham don spend £237 million on six players, and City pay £116 million for Elliot Anderson.
Fees for young players dey small, but if Arsenal think the price too high, dem no go pay unless dem really want the player. For example, Declan Rice cost £105 million because City come into talks, and Arsenal really want am.
If there be player like dat for this window, Arsenal go try to get am. But whether dat player exist now na different matter.
Morgan Rogers, Bradley Barcola, and Bruno Guimaraes be three high-profile names wey dem discuss. All three dey for World Cup, so movement no dey for now, but expectations still high.
