Juma Bah from Real Valladolid is on the verge of joining Manchester City by activating his release clause. The player's representatives have informed Real Valladolid of this choice after unsuccessful attempts to negotiate a deal to prevent the obligatory exit. Initially, negotiations were centered around a fee of eight million euros, but complications led the player to decide on paying his release clause of six million euros. This clause was set at such an amount because of his registration as a youth player. Real Valladolid made efforts to have the player sign a new contract following his debut in the Primera Division, but the player's agent declined this offer. The player's low salary, reportedly just 2,500 euros per month, has been a contentious issue, potentially making him the lowest paid in the Primera Division with an annual salary of approximately 30,000 euros. Upon payment to the RFEF and notification to Real Valladolid, Juma Bah will be free to transfer to Manchester City.

Newcastle has made an initial offer of 10 million euros for Juma Bah, an 18-year-old promising defender from Real Valladolid. Bah has impressed with his quick adaptation to European football and has caught the attention of teams in the Premier League.
