Erling Haaland and Gianluigi Donnarumma go head to head at the San Siro next month
JUMA Bah and Vitor Reis arrived at Manchester City in the same window earlier this year and although both are now playing their football away from the Etihad, they could have an eye on making Pep Guardiola's squad for next season.
The two 19-year-old centre-backs are only three months apart in age, and both are enjoying productive loan spells in a big five league. They are the two star names of a cohort of young defenders looking to make an impression at City.
Bah joined from Real Vallodolid for £5.2millon after a meteoric rise, playing just 13 games for the La Liga outfit in the first half of last season before City swooped for the Sierra Leone international.
