Big-spending Manchester City are ready to snap up £34million-rated Barcelona kid Gai Assulin – for nothing.
The 19-year-old Israeli attacking midfielder has arrived for talks about a surprise move to City after cancelling his contract with Barca where he had the sky-high valuation in his deal.
Assulin made the Barca first team for a Cup tie at the age of 16 and is also his country’s youngest-ever cap. But a bad knee injury set him back and he fell out with Pep Guardiola’s coaching team.
Now City are set to snap him up and increase the quality of their emerging talent – an area they think needs to be improved.

Sounds a good prospect but seems quite pointless with the new rules now, would be silly from him anyway, I presume City won’t see him as a starter and he would have to be at their academy 3 years before being passed off as “Home grown”
