    This form has drawn admiring glances toward the 19-year-old from across Europe but according to reports, City have agreed a \u00a32.7m fee to bring Tedi\u0107 to Manchester in January. Serbian outlet Blics<\/a> report that Tedi\u0107 will remain on loan at Cukaricki for the remainder of the season to continue his development.<\/p>\n

    Cukaricki\u2019s director of football, Nenad Mirosavljevic, claims the club quickly agreed terms with City, who he says had been tracking Tedi\u0107 for “a long time”.<\/p>\n

    \u201c[City] scouts often come to see him,”\u00a0said<\/a> Mirosavljevic.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThere have been games where we didn\u2019t even know they were in the stands. They watched all of his games, his every move, which is quite normal for the world\u2019s biggest clubs.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWhen they officially contacted us, we easily and quickly agreed. This is a confirmation of our good work, but also the best possible marketing for Cukaricki, and for Serbian football in general.\u201d<\/p>\n
