Jeremy Monga could become one of the most expensive players of his age as Manchester City are willing to fork out €30 million for the Leicester City gem.
According to Fichajes, Manchester City are willing to spend around €30 million to land Leicester City’s 15-year-old gem Jeremy Monga. The young winger has been making huge strides in the background and is already playing at a much higher level than his current age, which has attracted a lot of attention from some of the top clubs in England and abroad.
Manchester City have demonstrated they can nurture and develop young talents at their academy. The Premier League champions have produced some top-level talents who may not be playing their senior football at the Etihad, but surely are making a name for themselves elsewhere.
Michael Olise, Morgan Rogers, Douglas Luiz and Cole Palmer are prime examples of Manchester City’s academy graduates. There are many more playing either in the Premier League or abroad, while the club also have a separate budget to spend on academy targets in the market, with only a handful of clubs able to make room similarly.
Manchester City are constantly looking at emerging young talents from everywhere, with Leicester City gem Jeremy Monga their next big target. Monga, a 15-year-old has been playing for the Foxes’ Under-18 side, which is already well above his age levels, and excelling there. Manchester City are considered front-runners over Chelsea, who are also interested in the winger.
PSG are also thought to be interested, although it is Manchester City who are prepared to make a move sooner rather than later. The idea here is to bring the 15-year-old wonderkid to the club’s academy and develop his talents, as Manchester City are ready to invest a huge sum in landing the Leicester City gem.
Manchester City willing to pay €30 million for Jeremy Monga
It is not every day that clubs have a separate budget for their academy signings, but Manchester City are in a fantastic position to spend big on unpolished talents. Pep Guardiola’s side are open to spending around €30 million on the 15-year-old wonderkid, which will probably make Monga one of the most expensive players in his age group.
With such an audacious offer, Manchester City could beat their competition with relative comfort, although the big task would point towards convincing Leicester City, who are eager to keep hold of the talent. As for Monga, he might be open to the switch, although a decision would be made depending on the pathway Manchester City laid out for the young attacker.
