This winter, Christian McFarlane is expected to depart from New York City FC and join Manchester City, a sister club. Manchester City has an agreement in place to sign the 17-year-old, according to a report by Fabrizio Romano. According to reports, McFarlane turned down offers from Brighton and a minimum of one German team. As far as Transfermarkt is aware, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund were those two German teams.
The England international was anticipated to sign with Manchester City, according to earlier reports from Tom Bogert and Sam Lee in March, but no contract had been agreed upon or signed as of yet. McFarlane, who is 17 years old, would wait to join the Premier League until he is 18. The left-back has started all four of NYCFC’s recent games, including the League Cup stalemate between NYCFC and Queretaro. After winning a penalty shootout, the MLS team received a point.
Manchester City closing in on another signing from MLS
In the upcoming days and weeks, the English Premier League team will try to finalize his deal. Whether he leaves the MLS team right now or stays on is still up in the air because the conditions of the contract have not been completed. Among those who did not play in Manchester in recent memory, Valentin Castellanos stands out the most.
The attacker participated in the winning NYCFC MLS Cup campaign and spent a season on loan at CFG outfit Girona. According to Bogert, McFarlane ought to be given the chance to develop and earn a spot in the Man City starting lineup.
