Jahmai Simpson-Pusey signs with FC Köln after leaving Manchester City
Summary

Jahmai Simpson-Pusey has transferred to FC Köln from Manchester City, following a successful loan period with the German club. The 20-year-old centre-back, who joined City's youth system at age eight, has committed his future to Köln with an initial transfer fee of €5.5 million. The deal includes potential add-ons that could raise the total to €7.5 million, along with provisions for a buy-back clause. Simpson-Pusey has been viewed as a strong defensive prospect and saw limited first-team opportunities at Manchester City due to a congested backline. The transfer forms part of Manchester City's ongoing summer transfer activity, as they pursue other signings including Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson.
