Manchester City have reportedly won the race to sign the ‘next Lionel Messi’ after beating off competition from Barcelona to sign 14-year-old Brahim Abdelkader Diaz from Malaga’s youth academy.

Diaz has been attracting attention from Europe’s top clubs, with a number of videos displaying the teenager’s natural skill and ability surfacing on the internet.

Pellegrini managed Malaga from 2010 to 2013 before being announced as Roberto Mancini's successor on June 14.

Barcelona had designs of bringing Brahim up to their first team by the age of 16. Thus, a similar timeline should be expected for when the Citizens are able to call on their highly c
