Manchester City Set to Let Go of 19-Year-Old Striker with 61 Goals in Short Span

Manchester City's 19-year-old talented central striker Matty Whorwood is on the verge of ending his successful stint in the club's system.

So far, five clubs ranging from the Championship to League Two have made inquiries about the talented player.

The club's sporting director, Hugo Viana, plans to include a clause in the potential transfer agreement that would allow the club to receive a percentage of any future sale of the player.

The 2026/27 season is considered a crucial transition period in the player's development, and now Matty needs to prove himself at the professional level, not just in youth football.

The performances of Erling Haaland in the main team continue to be a barrier for central strikers coming from the academy. With this in mind, Whorwood's representatives have discussed his departure plan with the club management.

According to Mail Sport journalist Simon Jones, Manchester City's highly-rated striker Matty Whorwood is set to leave the club in the summer, having scored 61 goals in 97 games in the academy system.

The 19-year-old has received offers from Stockport County, Swindon Town, Cambridge United, Northampton Town, and Burton Albion.
