Rangers have joined the chase for Manchester City’s England youth international striker Charlie McNeill.
The prolific 16-year old is leaving City after six years following a breakdown in talks over a new deal and concerns about his career pathway.
McNeill has been discussed by Manchester United and Red Bull Leipzig but Sportsmail understands Rangers will now try and lure him to Ibrox.
Talks are understood to have taken place at the weekend in what could prove a coup for Steven Gerrard’s side.
McNeill has scored around 600 goals over the past six years at youth level which has also drawn attention from Italian champions Juventus.
However, pivotal to his next move will be finding a club where he believes he will be given a chance of progressing to the first team.
Meanwhile, City are among the clubs showing an interest in Rangers’ academy winger Dire Mebude.
The interest comes as City’s 16-year old winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is discussing a move to Borussia Dortmund.
Sporting Lisbon are also hopeful of concluding a two year loan deal for City full-back Pedro Porro. The 20-year old was on loan at Real Valladolid last season.

Why is MC losing young talents all the time?
Because their pathway to first team is blocked or delayed by the more established players. For all the good work they’ve done on the pitch in recent years, Man City are yet to find that balance between signing a youth prospect and establishing a clear channel for them to progress to first team.

Better wages ,game time anything to keep hold of him ,and if he signs slap a £500 M release clause like barca does
how closely you watch PL .... but you don't even know PL don't prefer release clauses .. I don't think any player in PL have release clause typical city fan !!

I dont see y he would leave when man city wants a replacement for Aguero because it's gonna take two good strikers to fill those big shoes and Jesus alone can't do it...Man United has Greenwood ,Martial and Rashford; (all very young and more than capable strikers) If i was McNeil, I'd sign with City or RB Leipzig because they are better options for opportunities

The kid is a utd fan. I think he will leave city

The only players who are not linked to United are either retired or already playing for them. The biggest comedy is these rumours are only found in ALL Football app.

if he goes to rangers it would be bad for this kid. If he stays he will play after aguero leaves us in 2021 , why does he think he won't get much playing time when city competes in all 4 competitions

Let city continue selling great talents eg Sancho and Sane now him.Man city development to[5percent]
if a player himself wants to leave what can city do. Sane was a key player for us when we won 3 trophies with us but it was his decision to leave. City did everything they could to keep, Sancho also left us we didn't throw him out or try to sell him . He was developing into a great player at city. Dortmund came and he wanted to leave. It was his own will If young players stay like foden did they become sensational and mature under pep. There are some really talented lads in ctiy's academy and if they stay they will play for us just like foden is playing. Foden is gonna replace david , i wish charlie stays too and replaces aguero but if he wants to leave after city have offered him a contract that's his choice. Don't talk bullshit of you do not know anything.
