Manchester City are understood to have won the race to land Real Madrid starlet Jose Angel Pozo.

The 15-year-old forward has agreed terms with City, and will sign a five-year deal in March on his 16th birthday.

City have persuaded Pozo to move to England, rather than continue his football education at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Pozo is also reported to have shunned offers from Arsenal and Liverpool to join City.

City have also taken the step of agreeing a compensation deal with Real and it is believed they will pay an initial €200,000 although reports in England claim the deal could eventually be worth £5million.

However, it is also claimed in Spain that there are clauses in the deal which will allow him to move back to Real in 2014 and 2015 for set amounts.

The Malaga-born youngster is expected to fly to England next with his family to tie up the move




Welcome to the Club Kid.

I'm all for Signing youngsters but shouldn't we really be looking at a striker for Now and present instead of the future????

They can't tie him to a long-term deal till he turns 16.

Smash and grab, I like it. Barca and Real don't seem to be able to shield youngsters from our might.

Isn't this why Barca lost Fabregas to Arsenal when he was a kid? Happens quite a lot I think. Nothing to do with the club not thinking their good enough.

If Real don't have any power to stop him leaving, how can they have the power to stipulate they can buy him back in 2014 or 2015? I don't get it.

Basically, as he is under 23, the club will be due compensation if the player leaves on a 'free' provided they have offered the player a contract (which Madrid have). It's a bit more complicated but it's roughly that, I believe. Either we agree a deal with Madrid or a tribunal decides what 'fair value' is - which is liable to be a few million more than we will be getting him for. The buy-back clause drops the price we have to pay and odds are that Madrid won't activate it.

I believe the fact that we are also looking out for the parents and a guarantee of reserve football swayed it!

i think it's because you can't sign a professional contract until you're 17 in spain. that's how arsenal got fabregas. iirc.

I understand the compensation for players under 23 thing, I just don't get why Real have the option to buy him back, unless as you say we stipulated it to reduce the amount of compensation.

Bet Barca wish they'd done that with Fabregas (who Arsenal signed in a similar fashion btw).
