City close to signing Colombia Under-20 goalie

(GSM) – Manchester City are close to securing the services of Cristian Bonilla.

Bonilla is a Colombian Under-20 goal keeper and plays for Boyaca Chico.

“The only thing that is left to do is my medical tests and sign the contract,” 17-year-old Bonilla told Colombian newspaper Futbolred.

“Besides the fact that I may be loaned to another team, this is a very important door that gets opened for my career, so I will have to start to take English lessons very soon.

“This is a very important step forward in my career, everything has been arranged and according to what the president, Eduardo Pimental, has said to me the transfer has been confirmed.”

Reports suggest the young stopper will be loaned out to a Spanish club next season to help him adapt to Europe.
