Battle of the English giants for a wonderkid! Manchester City ahead of the competition in the race for Borussia star

Details: Manchester City have taken the lead in the transfer race to sign one of Borussia Dortmund’s most gifted talents, Mathis Albert.

The reigning Premier League champions see enormous potential in the young footballer and are ready to allocate around €20 million for the transfer. The Citizens’ scouting department have already held preliminary talks, signaling their readiness to complete the move immediately and beat off other European suitors.

At the same time, London club Chelsea remain seriously interested in the midfielder and continue to closely monitor developments surrounding Dortmund. The Blues have no intention of easily allowing their target to join a direct rival, meaning Albert’s future promises to become one of the biggest and most intriguing storylines of the upcoming transfer market.

It is worth noting that Mathis Albert is regarded as one of the most promising American talents of his age. He joined Borussia Dortmund’s youth system from the LA Galaxy academy and has regularly been called up to the United States youth national team.
