Manchester City is caught up in a messy transfer situation as Real Valladolid says they’re pushing their young defender Juma Bah to end his contract. The Spanish club is saying that Bah who’s 18 and from Sierra Leone, got told by Manchester City to break away from Valladolid so he could move to England. This whole thing has got Valladolid really mad and they’re threatening legal stuff, especially since Bah just joined them permanent on January 1, 2025.

  • Real Valladolid says Manchester City told Bah to break his contract.
  • Bah put down his release money with the RFEF and didn’t show up to training.
  • Valladolid might take Manchester City to court.

City Football Group’s Interest in Juma Bah

The City Football Group (CFG) who owns Manchester City really wants to get Juma Bah. Even though Inter Milan and other clubs want him too CFG looks like they’re gonna get him. The money problems Manchester City’s dealing with right now from the charges against them makes everything more complicated. Whatever happens with these charges could mess with what the club can do later on which makes the Bah thing even more important.


Potential Implications for Bah and the Clubs

Real Valladolid has started punishment proceedings against Bah and they’re really mad about everything. They think the City Football Group is responsible cause they told Bah to break his contract. Nobody knows what’s gonna happen next with Bah and all the clubs involved in this mess.
