Man City's Angelino set to join RB Leipzig in £16m deal after triggering purchase clause

Manchester City defender Angelino is set to complete a permanent move to RB Leipzig in the summer after triggering an €18 million (£16m/$21m) obligation to buy, Goal can confirm.

The Spaniard joined the Bundesliga club on a season-long loan in September with an appearance-based obligation-to-purchase clause.

Angelino had to appear in 12 matches through the season, with five of those in the second half of the campaign, and he passed that figure on Friday night when he started the Bundesliga clash against Augsburg.
