Manchester City have reportedly set their sights on another promising young talent in the upcoming transfer window. Sources close to the club suggest they are monitoring the progress of 17-year-old midfielder, Kai Peterson, who currently plays for Bundesliga side, Fortuna Dusseldorf U19.
Peterson, known for his exceptional passing range and technical ability, has been attracting interest from several top European clubs, including Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. However, City's reputation and potential playing time are believed to be a major draw for the German teenager.
“Manchester City are a club with a fantastic academy and a clear pathway to the first team,” a source close to the negotiations told The Daily Mail. “Peterson sees City as the ideal place to develop his game and become a world-class player.”
City are expected to make a formal offer within the next few weeks, with a fee of around €15 million rumored to be on the table. The young midfielder is said to be eager to join the club and contribute to Pep Guardiola’s squad.
