Manchester City striker Matty Warhurst set to leave club this summer

Matty Warhurst, a 19-year-old striker for Manchester City, is likely to depart the club after a successful spell in the academy, where he tallied 61 goals in 97 games. With limited pathways to first-team opportunities, Warhurst's representatives are negotiating with several Football League clubs, including Stockport County and Swindon Town, to secure a loan or transfer. Sporting director Hugo Viana plans to include a sell-on clause in any deal to protect the club's investment. The expected departure is aligned with City’s recent acquisition of other forwards, making it difficult for traditional strikers to break into the senior team. With pre-season training set to start on July 20, the agreement is anticipated to be finalized soon.
