Maximo Perrone opens up on 'most difficult moment' as he breaks silence on Man City transfer

Maximo Perrone says the 'most difficult moment' has come as he bade farewell to boyhood club Velez Sarsfield ahead of his move to Manchester City.

Perrone, 20, sealed a £8.2m transfer to City earlier this month, and is viewed as a future talent. He will train with Pep Guardiola's first team upon his arrival to Manchester, although he will be given time to adapt before a decision is taken in the summer over whether he is loaned out or kept at the Etihad.

The midfielder was allowed to stay at the South American Under-20 Championships this month in Colombia, but couldn't help Argentina from a disappointing exit at the first group stage.
