Anderlecht chief Peter Verbeke has detailed how Sergio Gomez stood in his office “in tears” when trying to push through his transfer to Manchester City.
The left-back joined the Blues for £11m in the summer when Pep Guardiola snuffed at the price tag being put on then-Brighton defender Marc Cucurella. He was brought in to fill the void left by Oleksandr Zinchenko who followed Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal.
Prior to Saturday's clash with Southampton, Gomez had played six times for City. He started the Champions League wins over Sevilla and Copenhagen and also bagged an assist in last weekend’s 6-3 win over Manchester United.
