Transfer: Man City Scouts Completely Blown Away By ‘future Superstar’

Manchester City scouts are said to have been completely blown away after taking in regular scouting missions involving a Real Valladolid teenage sensation.

City scouts have been watching Brazilian wonderkid Gui Ruck, who was born in 2009, although they are not the only ones interested in the talented young midfielder.

Real Madrid are another club who have the player on their radar, with their own scouts doing due diligence on the player.

Football Insider sources state that City’s scouting team have watched Ruck on multiple occasions with talent spotters describing him as a “future superstar” with the long-term potential to play at Champions League level.

Ruck’s contract at Valladolid is due to expire at the end of the season allowing him to leave in the summer as a free agent, although his age will mean a compensation fee will have to be paid.

City have put a major focus on recruiting young talent since being taken over back in 2008, having spent more than £200million on building a new academy in 2014.

That process has seen a number of youngsters come through, including the likes of Phil Foden and Cole Palmer, while it was a special night for two more City academy stars on Wednesday.
