Manchester City are keen to sign SC Freiburg youngster Noah Darvich, according to Sport 1.
The 16-year-old is currently captaining Germany at the European U17 Championship, where they have made it to the final after overcoming Poland on Tuesday.
Darvich registered two assists in their latest win and took his overall tally to two goals and four assists in the tournament. His form has caught the attention of top clubs across Europe, ‘above all Manchester City’.
It’s claimed the Premier League winners are showing concrete interest in the ‘top talent’. This is driven by Pep Guardiola and their director of football, Txiki Begiristain. The report states the duo are keen to ‘bring him to England’.
A jump to the U23 side would be attractive for the teenager if there’s a realistic prospect for his development.
He’s managed by Leaderbrok, who also represent Ferran Torres, who joined Barcelona from Manchester City in January 2022. They are looking for the right project for Darvich to continue his career development.
Sport 1 didn’t take into account Manchester City won’t be able to bring Darvich to England until he’s 18 years old because of Brexit, where clubs in the UK cannot sign players until they reach that age.
