Doesn't sound like City thing to do.

Therefore I don't think it will happen that we sign a player for free.

Didn't you read it? We still want to pay them a transfer fee!

IIRC this sounds very similar to the deal we did for Bruno Zuculini.
 
Guess its just to put pressure on Leicester/Mahrez. We wouldnt sign a very good talent for free. If he would cost us 40m maybe but for free or for some "friendly fee" no.
:D
 
Is he really that good? 11 goals in 43 youth international games isn't exactly tearing up trees for a striker, and he's 6ft2 according so how many of those came from physicality for his age group? Yes, shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia but it's hardly numbers that grab your attention. Phil Foden has 14 in 34 and he's a midfielder.

Another one is Pellegri who's gone to Monaco for £25mil. 2 goals in 29 youth international appearances. How are they getting these figures?

I guess there's more to top level scouting than reading wikipedia pages? Monaco seem to know what they're doing, they've only brought in €500m flipping players in the last 3 years.

Considering we were linked with him in January then it's certainly worth a punt. Only issue is says numbers. Wouldn't we need more english players to accommodate for another foreign player?

We already have the maximum number of homegrown players (4).

No we would need to lose a foreign player if we wanted to include him in the C/L squad. Adding more home grown wouldn't help. That said at 18 he could probably either be left out of the c/l squad or I'd think more likely be loaned for a season. I don't think he would come in instead of Mahrez.
