Harrison Parker has been officially signed by Manchester City from Manchester United.
One of the most promising young players in English football at the moment, Parker, 17, turned down a contract extension at Old Trafford to sign for their bitter rivals Man City.
Fabrizio Romano tweeted on Twitter (X) to confirm the action: Harrison Parker, a superb CB from Manchester United, has been signed by Manchester City.
The signing has been completed today, with City beating four elite teams to it. Another for the grandiose Academy initiative by #MCFC.
The announcement of the relocation was initially made in July when Romano tweeted: Harrison Parker, a highly gifted CB, will soon join Manchester City once they strike a deal with Manchester United.
Despite Man Utd providing the richest youth deal to keep Parker, City have beaten four elite clubs to the signature.
On September 22, the transfer expert quoted the tweet and added a green tick emoji before sending out a second tweet to validate the information.
According to him, Manchester City will formally close the agreements for Divine Mukasa and Harrison Parker today. After the paperwork is finalized, the announcement will be made.
Exclusive news: Parker arrives from Manchester United, while Mukasa joins from West Ham. For their aspirational Academy, two more.
Parker has now officially signed a deal with Man City, and he will join the team’s youth team.
Mukasa and Parker have bolstered Man City, although they also lost Tyler and Jack Fletcher to Man Utd earlier this summer.
The Fletcher twins, who play for Manchester United’s U18 squad, are the sons of former Red Devils striker Darren Fletcher.
Man City’s summer business
Mukasa and Parker are the newest recruits to Man City’s team, however they will first join the academy team.
