Juma Bah Kicks Up a Storm with His Transfer Drama…
Juma Bah went all action movie with his transfer to Manchester City, creating a stir matched only by a nest of angry hornets. Ruffling feathers, and possibly wigs, Bah terminated his contract with Real Valladolid for a cool £5 million, leaving them steaming like a teapot with accusations and legal saber-rattling.
City, intent on collecting center-backs as if they were rare stamps, welcomed Bah in January with a plan up their sleeves: a season-long loan to RC Lens, sending whispers through the grapevine. Lens received a defender with the chops for international duels, successfully locking out City’s newbie, Omar Marmoush, and none other than Mo Salah!
Young Bah’s been on a whirlwind, from Sierra Leone’s local pitches to La Liga mayhem, with Valladolid wishing they’d held tighter. Bah, calm as a cucumber in chaos, proclaimed his independence in the face of curious disputes and now eyes Manchester City like a kid in a sweet shop. “I played with them on PlayStation”, he chuckled to BBC Sport Africa. Soon, it appears, he’ll swap digital fields for real grass at City, aiming at titles with a squad he once approached only via a game console. Hold on to your hats, people, the Bah express is rolling!
