Manchester City complete the signing of Argentina starlet Dario Sarmiento from Estudiantes in £5.2m deal, with teenager winger described as a ‘mini Messi’. The 18-year-old Argentine winger will officially join the club this summer
In a statement, the Argentine club said: “We can reveal that, upon completion of the transfer agreement signed with Manchester City, Dario Sarmiento will join the English team from July 1 onwards. Sarmiento is left-footed, 5ft 6 in and an Argentine youth international – meaning comparisons with Messi have been inevitable.”
Former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron believes Sarmiento has an incredibly bright future. Veron in an interview said:” He has incredible improvement margins. to me, he has quality. Now a lot of clubs look for this kind of player, who runs on the flank. It is so easy for him to dribble his marker – not something so easy to see these days. He is fast, agile, nice left foot and great at dribbling, but he is still a project of a player.”
