“He came, he seduced us, he impressed and he left. Kayky was sold to Manchester City like a couple of sacks of soybeans,” Tribuna de Minas writer Gabriel Ferreira Borges fired in a scathing column following confirmation of the teenager s imminent move.
Kayky and team-mate Metinho, a fellow City target, Borges opines, “will have different fates in the City Football Group s game of Russian Roulette. The future is a game of chance between Lommel and Girona.”
The former, who was watched closely by the club before making his debut for Flu at the start of 2021 and, reports in Brazil suggest, had been signed prior to ever setting foot on the pitch at senior level, is at least expected to be retained by City once he arrives in England.
