Man City midfielder to complete £25m move to Cesc Fabregas' Como - with Pep Guardiola's side due huge profit on £9m signing despite playing just twice

Manchester City midfielder Maximo Perrone is completing a £25million move to Como.

Perrone joined City from Velez Sarsfield in Argentina two years ago for around £9m, spending last season on loan at Las Palmas.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed a run at Serie A this term under Cesc Fabregas, with Como set to finish the campaign in mid table.

The club’s official website recently labelled Perrone a ‘compass’, the ‘Swiss watch’ who keeps ‘Como ticking’ and they had already triggered a one-year extension to his loan deal.

But talks surrounding a permanent switch continued between the two parties and they have struck a deal that will see City almost triple their profit on the central midfielder.
