# City keen on signing Croatian starlet?

Dinamo Zagreb youngster Ante Coric is being tracked by Manchester City alongside two other English clubs, according to the teenager’s father.

[Clubcall](https://www.clubcall.com/manchester-city/father-protests-as-city-close-in-on-croatian-starlet-1788336.html) have today wrote that the Croatian has lashed out at the club, saying: “I do not want to stay where I am not appreciated. That’s enough. If I am a great talent why not play me? Because everything changed after the renewal.” Coric’s recent contract has tied him down until 2020.

The 18 year old was formerly represented by his father but is now with new agents Doyen Global – who are reportedly close to striking a deal with FC Porto for the attacking midfielder, and his father would prefer to see this move happen.

City, meanwhile, have enlisted the help of Croatian players’ agent Ives Cakarun – who acted for Stefan Savic when he moved to the Etihad from Partizan Belgrade back in 2011. It is believed the agent is currently trying to broker a deal with the Croatian giants.

It has been suggested the Zagreb youth product could cost the Premier League leaders around 10 million euros; but with 35 first team appearances to his name, alongside 4 goals, the Eastern European youngster is definitely one to watch.
