Spanish Club Claims Man City Pushed Young Star to Break Deal.
Real Valladolid says Manchester City made their young player break his deal to join them. The Spanish team shared angry words about City's actions on Wednesday.
Juma Bah told Valladolid he wanted to end his deal on Tuesday. This came after City asked to talk about buying the 18-year-old player.
Bah missed team practice the next day. Spanish soccer leaders said he paid money to break his deal.
Valladolid thinks the City helped Bah make this choice. "City stands behind what the player did," the Spanish club said. They feel very upset about it.
The young player came from Sierra Leone last summer. He played for AIK Freetong before joining Valladolid for one year. The Spanish club wanted to keep him and tried to make the move permanent.
But Bah still plays under a youth deal. He won't sign a grown-up deal that would make him cost more to buy.
Valladolid plans to punish Bah for what he did. They say they will fight to protect their team's rights.
