Colombian claims City deal

Colombian claims City deal

Colombian goalkeeper Cristian Bonilla says that he is set to sign for Manchester City.

Boyaca Chico say that they have brokered deals to sell their prized assets, Bonilla and Marco Perez, to Europe.

Bonilla is set for a move to Eastlands, while Perez is on his way to Real Zaragoza.

Seventeen-year-old Bonilla is a Colombian Under 20 international and is rated very highly, and he is delighted to be on his way to City.

"The only thing that is left to do is my medical tests and sign the contract," Bonilla told Futbolred .

Sources close to the deal have confirmed that City will look to loan Bonilla to a Spanish side next year in order to help him adapt to European football.

"Besides the fact that I may be loaned to another team, this is a very important door that gets opened for my career, so I will have to start to take English lessons very soon," he continued.

"This is a very important step forward in my career, everything has been arranged and according to what the president, Eduardo Pimental, has said to me the transfer has been confirmed."

The club have also concluded a deal that sees Perez move to Zaragoza.

"We have arranged a two-year deal," Pimentel said. "This is the best arrangement for Marco.

"Besides that Gimnasia La Plata wanted to buy his transfer as he had a very good performance there and River Plate were also interested, but his arrival to Zaragoza is something much more important."
