PWest Ham United and Manchester City Reach Agreement on Divin Mubama Transfer
West Ham United has agreed to a £1.2 million compensation package with Manchester City for the transfer of 19-year-old striker Divin Mubama, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano. Mubama, who turned down a contract offer from West Ham earlier this summer, will join Manchester City as a free agent and sign a long-term deal with the Premier League champions.
The transfer is seen as a strategic move by Manchester City, who will pay a compensation fee to West Ham due to Mubama’s age. Despite being a free agent, West Ham is entitled to a compensation package because Mubama is under the age of 20.
Mubama’s decision to join Manchester City has raised eyebrows, as he is unlikely to play first-team football under Pep Guardiola this season. Instead, he will likely feature for the club’s under-21 side. This move has been seen as a disappointment for all parties involved, except Manchester City.
From West Ham’s perspective, the transfer is a loss of a talented young player who could have contributed to the team’s success. Mubama’s decision to join Manchester City means he will likely miss out on regular playing time, which could hinder his development as a player.
