Two days ago, we covered claims from Het Laatste Nieuws that ‘everything indicates’ Roméo Lavia will leave Anderlecht and is close to joining Manchester City.
It was also explained the Jupiler Pro League side wanted to offer the 16-year-old a contract, but he has turned down an opportunity to sign a deal with them.
Lavia, who can operate as a defensive midfielder or centre-back, took on social networking site on Thursday to announce his exit from the Belgian club.
This has been reported across various outlets in Belgium, including in today’s edition of Het Nieuwsblad.
Their headline states the English champions wait for the youngster after he confirmed his decision to leave Anderlecht.
Within the report, it’s explained the ‘top talent’ had several choices to pick in England, but ‘everyone assumes’ his next club will be Manchester City.
Another Belgian newspaper, Le Soir, also states Lavia could join the Etihad club this summer.
