The website "CaughtOffside" reported that Manchester City is looking to strengthen its attack by signing the young French striker Mathis Ditorbit, an 18-year-old player from Troyes, who has attracted the interest of several major European clubs.

The website pointed out that the player has impressed several teams thanks to his movement on the field, his composure in front of the goal, and his physical maturity beyond his age, which enables him to compete against more experienced players. This has prompted clubs to act early to secure his future before his market value rises.

The same source explained that AS Roma made an official offer of 8 million euros, with potential add-ons of 2 million euros, but Troyes rejected the offer. Nevertheless, Roma's management continued their efforts to negotiate the deal in order to compete with City.

It is worth noting that Troyes Football Club is part of the City Football Group, which includes Manchester City and other clubs around the world, giving the English club a significant advantage in facilitating the deal and establishing a clear development plan for the player.

The website pointed out that Manchester City had previously hosted Ditorbit at its facilities, reflecting the club's serious interest in the player. The club's strategy focuses on discovering young talents early and gradually integrating them through loan spells.

Currently, Troyes remains firm in its valuation of the player, but the relationship between the two clubs gives Manchester City the advantage in the race to sign Ditorbit, ensuring the acquisition of a promising talent to strengthen their attack in the future.
