Barcelona 'eye swoop for Manchester City teenager'

Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Manchester City teenager Kian Breckin.

Breckin, who largely operates as an attacking midfielder, has been with City since the age of 11.

According to the Daily Mail, the 15-year-old has attracted the attention of Barca with his performances at various youth tournaments, which could lead to the Spanish champions making a move.

The report, though, claims that City have offered Breckin a new contract and are waiting to learn whether the attacker sees his future with the Premier League giants.

The teenager's father, Ian Breckin, was a professional footballer for Rotherham United, Chesterfield, Wigan Athletic and Nottingham Forest before hanging up his boots in 2011.

The Citizens have lost a number of talented youngsters in recent seasons, namely Jadon Sancho, who has thrived since leaving the Etihad Stadium for Borussia Dortmund in 2017.
