Manchester City are ready to unveil a new superstar on the European football stage.

The transfer fee will be around £10 million. City managed to close the deal after lengthy negotiations, while Arsenal, who were also pushing hard to sign the 16-year-old winger, failed to make a decisive breakthrough.

Enzo Maresca played a crucial role in the process: he was personally involved in the talks and presented the player with a long-term project, which ultimately convinced Monga to choose Manchester City.

It’s worth noting that in the 2025/26 season, Jeremy Monga played 30 matches for Leicester, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists.

Reminder: Manchester City considers signing Real Madrid star.
