Phil Hay, who stated to The Square Ball this week that Gordon, 15, will still be moving to Manchester City, is credited with this. He claimed on The Athletic that a deal had been reached more than a week ago.
However, since Hay’s reports that Gorman was joining City a few days ago, nothing has made news. Still, nothing has collapsed; the Premier League is just finalising an agreement.
Given the size of the agreed fee, Hay claims that this is due to Gorman’s age and the intricacy of a transaction for a player this young. Spurs and Liverpool were interested, according to the Athletic reporter.
“Manchester City will be receiving Gorman.” It is inevitable and required Premier League checks, which were necessary. He’s only fifteen. Leeds believes that for a player of his age, this is a British transfer record.
They’re long-term extras. They might not, but it has the potential to make £5 million or more. He expressed his desire to go. Liverpool and Spurs were two more teams that showed interest. Hay stated, “They regard him as a talent for a generation.”
Phil Hay says Finlay Gorman will complete Manchester City move
Hay points out that even though Archie Grey provided a clear path to the Leeds first team, Gorman’s decision to join Man City was always going to be tough to refuse.
But surely Gorman would have had the ideal opportunity to realise his already enormous potential if he had stayed at Leeds for a few years before breaking into the team? Rather, he is currently at City.
Considering that he has already represented the U18 team, it will be intriguing to see if he plays for City’s 18s or 21s in the upcoming months or at any other time this season. Undoubtedly, it is a true indication of intent.
