Real Valladolid have accused young defender Juma Bah of breaching his contract after being tapped up by Manchester City and threatened legal action.

Abdulai Juma Bah and his agent informed Real Valladolid yesterday afternoon of their intention to unilaterally terminate the contract between the two parties. Previously, in the same afternoon, Manchester City had sent a press release asking Real Valladolid to start negotiations for the player with a view to a possible permanent transfer.

Spanish side Real Valladolid said on Wednesday that Premier League team Manchester City had tapped up defender Abdulai Juma Bah and accused the 18-year-old of breaching his contract.
