Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Newcastle United’s “huge talent” is the subject of a transfer to Manchester City. Four agreements have already been reached.
Young forward Ethan Fullen is expected to transfer to Manchester City from Newcastle’s Under-15s football team. Newcastle, on the other hand, has reached agreements to sign numerous youth players this summer.
The specifics of Fullen’s transfer to Manchester City are currently being finalized, and the 14-year-old is considered a “huge talent” at the academy level, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Newcastle will be entitled to a compensation package as a result of the development of Fullen at the academy level.

Although Newcastle are losing a promising academy player, the club has already taken steps this summer to recruit some top-tier adolescent talent.

Eddie Howe has left the first-team door at NUFC open. Over the past year, Newcastle’s youth recruitment initiative has been led by former sporting director Paul Mitchell, who has not been engaged in the influx of new young signings.
Yildiz, Fraser Harper, and Kyle Fitzgerald were also acquired by the Magpies during the winter transfer window. When queried about the signings, Howe responded, “I concentrate solely on the recruitment of the first team and the players who are joining my squad.”
“In terms of the other players [at the youth level], that is left to other individuals, and it is exceedingly challenging to allocate the necessary time, energy, and detail to address this matter.” “However, it is crucial that we sign players who are not part of the first-team squad and that we bolster those positions.”
To provide ourselves with the greatest possible long-term and financial opportunity. Additionally, provide those individuals with an opportunity. However, Howe did emphasize that all junior players will have the opportunity to enter the first team if they demonstrate their abilities. Academy players are frequently summoned to train with the first team throughout the season.
