This guy would be an amazing back up to Haaland next summer if we shift Jesus to the left
Great business if true 👏

This is one thing that I like about City from a business standpoint. He may never play for City, but likely will be loaned out to one of the CFG clubs to get playing time and raise his transfer value

We bought Felix Correia for €1m, kept him loaned at his club and sold to Juve for €10m… How’s getting a 900% profit from these kind of deals inefficient? As long as our scouts are on point this is a hughe part of our financial stability
