"Manchester City are no strangers to using their wide City Football Group (CFG) links to sign promising young talents from around the world. CFG is the parent company that owns City, and fully owns or has an interest in another eleven clubs in Europe, North and South America, Australia and Asia, all of which sit in their multi-club system. Pep Guardiola's side sit, of course, at the top of this food chain and have used the system to strong effect in the past."
"With that new deal comes a fresh release clause, set for international clubs at 200m. That should protect the youngster from being poached, unless CFG want to move the young winger to another one of their clubs, at which point Bahia would be powerless to resist, and unlikely to bank anything like 200m. And such a move cannot be ruled out, as the Brazilian outlet says Pablo is being closely monitored by City."
Manchester City use the City Football Group's global network to source and develop promising young talents through affiliated clubs across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia. The CFG model has produced players who moved between sister clubs before joining City, such as Brazilian winger Savinho. Multi-club systems face criticism for affecting smaller clubs and for enabling parent clubs to invest by proxy without immediate balance-sheet impact. Bahia extended Ruan Pablo's contract to 2030 and set a 200m international release clause. Manchester City are closely monitoring Pablo and could move him within the CFG network.
