Manchester City’s youth setup has secured the services of Caelan-Kole Cadamarteri from Sheffield Wednesday.
The Citizens have been busy bolstering not only their first team this summer, but also their academy.
A month ago, it was reported that Man City were closing in on the signing of Kaylen Moss, a midfielder in Liverpool’s academy.
It was also reported that Tottenham’s Dexter Oliver was in the picture to move to City, while Aston Villa’s Freddie Lawrie is said to have joined City.
Cadamarteri has sent a farewell message to Sheffield Wednesday, and their fans have all reacted in a positive fashion.
Sheffield Wednesday fans wish Caelan-Kole Cadamarteri all the best
Wednesday fans responded by also wishing Cadamarteri the best and, while they bemoaned his departure due to the club’s financial issues, they were happy for the player.
“Best of luck at City Caelan, amazing move for you,” one fan wrote in response. “Keep working hard and learning. Hope to see you in the Premier League in the future!”
Another said: “Wish you all the best, it’s sad that the situation at SWFC was probably a big deciding factor.
“Good luck, maybe one day you will be back in a Wednesday shirt if our fortunes change.”
The praise kept coming, with one fan writing: “Good luck Caelan, look forward to seeing your progression over the next few years.
“Prove all us Wednesday fans right, we know you are the best we’d had in a long time…”
Another said: “Go and enjoy your career pal. If you ever get chance to come back on loan, please do!”
Another wrote: “Good luck Caelan-Kole, shame we didn’t get to see you up top with Bailey for the Owls.”
How much Manchester City are said to have paid for Caelan-Kole Cadamarteri
City have paid Wednesday £1million up front for Cadamarteri, with add-ons taking the deal up to £1.5million, according to The Star.
As per the Yorkshire Post, the Cadamarteri deal is ‘another example of them (Wednesday) selling off the family silver in an attempt to survive.’
The local outlet says the Owls are under a transfer embargo for failing to pay money owed to other clubs.
They had been under two others, but were able to clear them with the sales of Anthony Musaba and Djeidi Gassma for a reported total of £3million.
City are getting a player who scored a superb 24 goals for Wednesday in the Under-18s Professional Development League.
