2. He Has Cost City Just £1.5m
One of the startling factors in the transfer of Zuculini to City is the fee involved, being just
£1.5million. The youngster will join up with his new teammates at the end of the season, a campaign that could end with the midfielder representing his country at next year's World Cup after rumours suggested that he has been interesting national team coach Alejandro Sabella. His current deal with Racing was set to end in the summer of 2015, which explains how City were able to get this starlet for such a cheap price. The player also holds an Italian passport, so is able to go straight into the first team at City should he be needed, and with Pellegrini's eye for talent, you wouldn't bet against Zuculini turning out on a regular basis for City in the near future. In the fee agreed with the Argentine club, City again demonstrated that they are looking to change their ways after years of overspending. Sometimes this overspending has developed into spending big money on players they don't need or who fail miserably at the club. Emmanuel Adebayor for example. But with the Zuculini deal comes a sign of things to come for City, who have also invested
£100million in a new training complex, which will replace their current Carrington facilities, to develop their new and exciting breed of youngsters.
