How does City Football Group's global scouting network operate?

What are the characteristics we look for? And how are deals completed? 

SCOUT, a fascinating new four-part documentary available to CITY+ subscribers, lifts the lid on City Football Group’s approach to talent identification.

Episodes One and Two are available to watch now on CITY+, with the first episode focusing on South America, a hotbed of some of the world’s most exciting football talent.

City have a rich history of recruiting players from South America. The current first team squad boasts the Club’s all-time leading scorer Argentinian Sergio Aguero, along with Brazilian trio Ederson, Gabriel Jesus and skipper Fernandinho.
