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.
