Bayer Leverkusen’s Gold Rush…
Hold onto your football boots, folks! Manchester City’s teenage prodigy, Farid Alfa-Ruprecht, has just kick-flipped his way over to Bayer Leverkusen for a staggering £5m – and he hasn’t even got grass stains from a single senior game on his kit! Yes, you heard that right. This deal’s as juicy as a half-time orange. And with a 50% sell-on clause, City could be surfing a golden wave of cash if Leverkusen tunes this lad’s potential to harmonious heights.
It’s a return to the land of bratwurst and Bundesliga for Alfa-Ruprecht, who originally swapped Hamburg’s youth ranks for the Cityzens’ sky-blue universe back in 2022. His boots cramped up a bench spot during a League Cup tie against Spurs last season, though he did little else besides explore Pep’s collection of stylish water bottles. City speaks of his speed with the reverence of a tortoise dreaming of being a gazelle — if Alfa-Ruprecht can lace up consistency alongside his lightning pace, he’s slated for greatness!
The Leverkusen gaffers have witnessed enough glints in his cleats to pen a permanent deal, dreaming of repeats of their Florian Wirtz jackpot. Meanwhile, City count their potential future coins like Scrooge McDuck counting his first penny. With their academy gushing young talents like a soda fountain on full blast, they’re primed to rake in riches from upcoming transfers. After all, the Under-21s practically moon-walked to league victory, and the Under-18s streaked through like superheroes with socks over their boots. What a time to be alive in the cartoonish canvas of football transfers!
