Manchester City have beaten Barcelona to the signing of 15-year-old Argentine prospect Benjamin Garre.

The attacking midfielder has been starring in the youth ranks of Velez Sarsfield and was widely tipped to move to Spain and join Barcelona. 

However, City have pipped Pep Guardiola's former club once again and Garre promised: 'I won't let this opportunity with City pass. Every player dreams of it. It's a gift from God.'

City have already beaten Barcelona to the signing of 29-year-old Celta Vigo striker Nolito and hope to beat them to the signing of Leroy Sane from Schalke also.

Garre, the grandson of Oscar Garre, a former defender who was part of Argentina's 1986 World Cup-winning squad, had a two week training spell with City's neighbours Manchester United last year also. He turns 16 on July 11.

Velez Sarsfield may lose another talent this summer with Arsenal reportedly interested in their striker Maxi Romero.
