Manchester City reject £6.5m Hoffenheim bid for talented young defender

Hoffenheim

<p>City have rejected a £6.5 million (€7.6m/$8.8m) offer from German outfit Hoffenheim for young defender Callum Doyle, according to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14846121/Man-City-reject-6-5million-bid-Bundesliga-outfit-academy-product.html" target="_blank"><em>the Daily Mail</em></a>. The 21-year-old has already been out on four separate loan spells, spending time with Sunderland, Coventry, Leicester and most recently Norwich.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Most of his appearances have come in the Championship but his talents have been spotted by Hoffenheim, who were the first side to submit a bid for Doyle. However, they are not the only team plotting a move, with Serie A club Udinese also thought to be keen on the centre-back, who can also play at left-back.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>City tend not to stand in the way of academy products who want to leave in search of regular first-team minutes elsewhere, with the likes of Liam Delap, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Tommy Doyle all being sold for modest prices last year.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While Doyle searches for a permanent exit, City will continue their Club World Cup campaign on Thursday night when they take on Juventus in their final Group G match.</p>
