Manchester City are very comfortable when it comes to signing young players and integrating them into their youth ranks.
For example, City have secured deals for the likes of Divin Mubama, Ryan McAidoo and Harrison Parker among others in recent memory and added them to their academy.
This particular academy has developed talents such as Phil Foden, Rico Lewis, Oscar Bobb and Cole Palmer to name a few.
Now though, some behind-the-scenes details have come to light regarding another talented youngster the Citizens have got their eyes on.

Man City eyeing transfer move for Gilberto Mora
A recent report from CaughtOffside has claimed that City, as well as Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur, have had scouts watching 15-year-old midfielder Gilberto Mora in action for Club Tijuana.
The report also adds that Barcelona have extended the teenager, who also has AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and FC Porto looking at him, an invitation to visit their La Masia youth academy in an effort to lure him to the Spanish club.
In addition to that, the three interested English sides will send more representatives to follow his performance in the upcoming game against UNAM Pumas on September 22.
Mora could be a future star
Despite being so young, the midfielder has appeared in four league games for Club Tijuana this season.
In fact, he’s been able to score one goal and deliver one assist for his current side in the process.
As well as that, the Mexican has the third-highest rate of shot-creating actions per 90 minutes (4.26) at his club as well as the third-highest rate of goal-creating actions per 90 minutes (1.6).
The fact that he has so many clubs across Europe looking at him shows just how much of an exciting talent he is.
Moving forward, if City feel that Mora would be a useful addition to their academy and has the potential to be a future first-team star at the Etihad Stadium, they should do all they can to be the ones who land a deal for him.
