Overview
- L’Équipe’s Loïc Tanzi is cited as reporting that Manchester City now lead the race, with sporting director Hugo Viana negotiating, though no deal has been announced.
- Detourbet, an 18-year-old left winger, has broken through for Troyes with 29 appearances and a first senior goal in late November, and he is contracted until 2028.
- AS Roma, which reportedly tabled a €10 million offer last summer, plus AS Monaco and German clubs, are also tracking the player.
- Football Insider reports that Detourbet was shown Manchester City’s training facilities last month as part of efforts to court him.
- Troyes have been majority-owned by City Football Group since 2020, a link that enables internal pathways and has attracted scrutiny after prior intra-group moves such as Savinho.
