City Football Group (CFG) has secured the signing of Independiente Medellin forward John Edwin Montano, beating out competition from Chelsea, Brentford, and Brighton. The 18-year-old Colombian has agreed to a long-term contract with CFG, with the paperwork expected to be finalized in the coming weeks. Montano is a promising winger who has already made appearances for his club and his national team at both Under 17 and Under 20 levels.
Montano has drawn comparisons to another player in City’s ranks, Savinho, who was also brought in from South American football and had a successful loan spell before joining Manchester City’s first team. While it remains to be seen if Montano will follow a similar career trajectory, his talent and potential have attracted interest from multiple clubs. CFG’s ability to secure his signing is seen as a major coup for the organization.
City fans can look forward to seeing Montano develop further with Belgian side Lommel SK, as he continues his growth as a player. With his versatility in playing on both the left and right flanks, Montano has the potential to make a significant impact in City’s squad in the future. His signing highlights City Football Group’s commitment to nurturing young talent and building a strong team for the future.
