Banfield wonderkid Agustin Urzi has been interviewed by Argentina’s TNT Sports this week, speaking a little about the attention he’s been drawing from big clubs.
And besides confirming there’s a long list of pretenders who’ve been in touch to sign him, the 19-year-old has hinted at a wish to play for Premier League side Manchester City.
It first started with him saying the clubs who want him, in a list which includes European giants from Spain, Italy and Portugal.
“Boca, Racing, Inter, River, Rome, Benfica, Atlético Madrid as well and I don’t remember any more. Fiorentina maybe, most of them were from Italy. They all contacted my representative and the club,” Urzi told TNT Sports.
“The Premier League is a league where I’d like to play, with my old man I watch Manchester City a lot.”
He was asked if he’d like to play with Kun Aguero, but quickly tried to dismiss the story getting bigger: “Yeah, forget it (laughs).”
Besides succeeding for Banfield, Agustín Urzi has also been excelling for Argentina’s youth ranks, being a regular starter in the team which got the qualification for the Olympics earlier this year.
