Manchester City has made a major statement in the transfer market by signing one of Europe’s most promising young strikers from Paris Saint-Germain. According to French journalist Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport, 18-year-old Mahamadou Sangaré has agreed to a five-year professional contract with the Premier League champions and successfully completed his medical.
This exciting move is part of City’s broader strategy to strengthen both their current squad and future prospects. Sangaré, who will officially join City on July 1st, is seen as a significant addition to the club’s attacking ranks. His decision to leave PSG represents a big loss for the French club and a major win for Manchester City.
Sangaré delivered a sensational campaign with PSG’s Under-19s, netting an incredible 42 goals in 46 matches, which has drawn the attention of top clubs across Europe. But it is City who have convinced the young striker to begin his senior career in Manchester, showcasing the club’s growing appeal to elite young talent.
This signing is just one of several as the club’s recruitment team, led by Hugo Viana and Txiki Begiristain, continue to reshape the squad. Since the January window, eight new first-team players have been added, along with numerous youth prospects designed to bolster City’s long-term future.
Among those soon to join is Caelan-Kole Cadamarteri, a highly-rated 15-year-old forward from Sheffield Wednesday. The deal, reportedly worth £1.5 million, is close to completion, with the teenager set to become one of the latest gems in City’s academy system.
City is also expected to confirm the signing of talented Norwegian midfielder Sverre Nypan, beating out interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal and Aston Villa. Although he’s likely to spend next season out on loan to gain first-team experience, he represents another key building block for the future. It’s understood he won’t be heading to Girona, despite speculation.
Manchester City’s latest moves underscore their long-term vision and commitment to nurturing the next generation of footballing stars—creating a pathway from youth to elite success at the highest level.
