Lazar Carevic, the Barcelona B goalkeeper, was on Manchester City’s radar before signing for the Catalan outfit from Montenegran side OFK Grbalj, according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo.
The 19-year-old was snapped up by Barca last season after becoming Grbalj’s no.1 stopper at the age of 17.
He kept 15 clean sheets in 30 games for the first-division side, conceding just 23 goals.
Ajax and Bayern Munich, as well as City, were thought to be hunting his signature.
