Manchester City have landed defender Juma Bah from Real Valladolid after accusations over their conduct last week.
The LaLiga side published a furious 364-word statement claiming that City had ‘supported and guided’ the 18-year-old into failing to turn up to training in a bid to force the move.
City deny the allegations, while Bah had paid the £5.1million minimum release fee clause to terminate his youth contract and seal the switch, money then reimbursed by the buying club.
Valladolid were left frustrated to lose the Sierra Leonian for around a third of the cash they had expected to were he to have penned professional terms.
