Zambian national team prospect Jadel Katongo according to the Nerve Africa sources continues to attract attention of numerous European clubs.
The 19-year-old defender, who recently joined English League One side Peterborough on loan from the English giants Manchester City, appeared on the radars of several clubs across Europe.
During the previous transfer window, several English Football League (EFL) clubs expressed interest in loaning Katongo, with inquiries also coming from teams in France and Germany for a permanent deal, as it was earlier reported by Football Insider. Ultimately, Peterborough secured the services of the British-born center-half with Zambian heritage in August on loan from Man City.
Several reliable sources suggest that Manchester City is now open to considering proposals from other teams interested in acquiring Katongo. The talented defender’s performance has sparked discussions beyond his current club.
Interestingly, reports indicate that Katongo’s parents believe he is ready to compete in top-tier divisions and are keen on seeing him transfer to a high-profile club. This parental endorsement aligns with the player’s aspirations to play at the highest level of European football.
As Katongo’s loan with Peterborough is set to expire in May next year, he is optimistic that the reported interest from clubs in Germany and France could materialize into a permanent deal. The young defender is poised for a potentially significant move, building on the attention he garnered during the recent transfer window.
