Not true. No one signed players from outside the UK until Brighton started doing it 5 years ago. Fact.I don’t think it’s that complicated. Both Brighton and City were interested for a while, we’re not the only club looking at the brightest prospects in Latin America.
Brighton make a bid, the agent calls City and says “do you want to get in on this, nows the time”, and they do so they outbid.
It’s not some social media conspiracy theory, other clubs have targets, scouts and data too.
