Marcos Paulo MesquitaLopes, known in the soccer world by Ron, was recently confirmed at Manchester City

Hyped as the next big thing to come out in Portuguese Football, Man City snapped up Marcos
Lopes, most known as Ronny, a Portuguese 15 year old, left footed, attacking midfielder of Benfica's youth team.
As he wasn't 16 (the legal age to sign contracts) Man City stole him and only had to pay the formation rights -> around 1M and his family also got a house as exchange for moving to
Manchester
The young athlete has even had the opportunity to bid farewell to his companions,
who certainly mourn the departure of this talented player with great creativity that it is preferably in the center of the ground, and may the power of your left foot act as a skilled interior left
or droping
on the same ward as a technicist far left that offers fantasy football of his
team.
Under-16 National Team by, Ron no longer bear the status of one of the greatest
talents in existing Campus Box Football Academy to join the Manchester City,
Perhaps a small fee for the millionaire English club, the amount paid by Manchester City Benfica struck by the fact that it involved a player from such a young age, having at the 15 year old 'sky blues' invested an amount close to a million euros ,an amount agreed between the two players for a player who, remember, had just signed a contract for training for its youth, hoping thereby to the British have made an excellent acquisition for the future.
