Man City agreed on the third signing of the central defender in the January transfer window
Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign 18-year-old centre-back Juma Bah from AIK Freetong, a report has confirmed.
Bah is enjoying a breakthrough season on loan in La Liga with Real Valladolid, for whom he has already made 14 appearances in all competitions, and a number of clubs are believed to be interested in the Sierra Leone international.
It was recently reported that City Football Group, the wider ownership group behind Manchester City, had their eye on Bah, but now Fabrizio Romano specified that the Premier League champion is in the hunt for his signature.
City have agreed a deal to sign Bah, although it is unclear whether Pep Guardiola’s side will sign him immediately or at the end of the season, when his loan spell with Valladolid expires. However, there are suggestions that the teenager could be loaned out to French side Lens, who sold Abdukodir Khusanov to City this week.
If the transfer goes as expected, Bah could be the third centre-back signing of the winter window for City, who are also announced the capture of 19-year-old Vitor Reis from Palmeiras. The young Brazilian’s transfer fee is believed to be around £30 million.
But the transfers don’t stop there, Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush is ready to join a deal worth just under £70m, while talks with Juventus are open around re-sign midfielder Douglas Luiz.
