Man City back youth record as Brahim Diaz nears Real Madrid move

Brahim Diaz, 19, is set to join Spanish monsters Real Madrid in an arrangement that could be worth up to £22m.

He is the most recent youth to leave the club in ongoing seasons, with takeoffs including winger Jadon Sancho, who has featured for England since moving to German side Borussia Dortmund for £8m in 2017.

In any case, staff at the shielding Premier League champions are determined that - Sancho aside - they are calling it right.

Who is Diaz and where does he play?

Diaz came to noticeable quality amid the 2017 Uefa Under-17 Championships in Azerbaijan when he scored multiple times for Spain, who completed sprinters up to Portugal in the wake of beating England in the quarter-finals.

At that point, he had just been a piece of City squads that lost the 2016 and 2017 FA Youth Cup finals to Chelsea. He showed up in September 2016 and marked a three-year contract days after the fact.

At 5ft 7in, Diaz has a mix of pace and equalization that was used in focal positions in youth football. He has would in general be picked more extensive at first-group level, regularly cutting inside in the advanced custom, instead of remaining on the wing to give crosses to other people.

Diaz's concern is that City as of now have Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and Riyad Mahrez who can do a similar activity.

Britain universal Sterling, 24, and 27-year-old Mahrez of Algeria have marked long haul contracts and 22-year-old Germany winger Sane is relied upon to go with the same pattern throughout the following couple of months.

Truly City's training staff don't feel Diaz is up 'til now up to the dimension that would legitimize uprooting any of those players, marked for £49m, £60m and £37m separately.

What amount of will Diaz cost Madrid?

Genuine have consented to pay an underlying £15.5m for the Spain Under-21 universal, with a further £6.5m in additional items.

What's more, City have a 15% move on proviso, which ascends to 40% should Diaz leave Real for Manchester United.

Diaz joined City from La Liga side Malaga as a 14-year-old in 2013 and has shown up, four this season.

His latest excursion came in the Carabao Cup quarter-last win at Leicester on 18 December.
