Earlier today, we’ve covered the first reports about Manchester City’s chase for Grêmio youngster Diego Rosa. Claims from Brazil said there’s a verbal agreement for the midfielder’s move, in a deal which should be of about €10m.
Now outlet UOL comes up with all the details of the operation. Their report says the transfer could cost up to €13m, depending on the performance bonuses.
Manchester City should pay a first amount of €5m at the time of the transfer. There’s later the possibility of two bonuses of €4m each.
Since Diego Rosa is only turning 18 in mid October, Manchester City will only be able to register him in the January transfer window.
UOL claims that the clubs are now discussing where he’s staying until then. There’s also a chance that instead of going straight to Manchester, he could first join a club from the City group.
