AFTER weeks of speculation, Socceroos midfielder Luke Brattan’s move to glamour club Manchester City has been confirmed.
Fox Sports News on Monday night exclusively revealed the news, with the former Brisbane Roar playmaker linking with the EPL ladder-leaders on a four-year deal.
While it had been widely speculated that Brattan was being looked at by the City Group in a clever ploy to bring him back to the A-League for the Australian club in their stable, Melbourne City.
However, the Fox Sports News report revealed Brattan would instead be loaned out to Championship side Bolton.
The deal was confirmed just weeks after Brattan revealed during Socceroos camp in Jordan how he had been scouted while playing for the Roar in Melbourne.
“There was someone watching a game in Melbourne, when I played for Brisbane obviously against Melbourne (City),” Brattan told Fox Sports News at the time.
“I must have had a good game and it sort of developed from there.”
After cutting ties with the Roar, Brattan took the opportunity to train at Manchester City’s world class academy, and it has clearly worked out for him with a dream move to Europe now sealed.
“It’s amazing, I never thought say five years ago that I’d be in the spot that I’m in now,” Brattan said.
“I’m grateful for it and I won’t take anything for granted.”
