Manchester City have been linked with a move for Congolese teenage midfielder Gédéon Nongo, according to transfer data suggesting interest in the AS Otôho defensive midfielder.
The 17-year-old is listed on Transfermarkt as a rumoured target for the Premier League champions, with the move noted as a possible transfer from AS Otôho in Congo to City. The probability of any deal is recorded only as “?”, underlining that this remains speculative rather than a formal negotiation at this stage.
Nongo is currently registered with AS Otôho, where he wears the number 21 shirt, having joined them from fellow Congolese side CARA Brazzaville ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. The switch between the two Brazzaville-based clubs was logged on 1 July 2024, with no fee disclosed.
No contract expiry date is listed for his current deal with AS Otôho, leaving open the question of whether he might, in time, become available as a free agent or require a transfer fee should any interest from abroad develop further. Similarly, no official market valuation is given for Nongo – his value is effectively recorded as “None” – which adds another layer of uncertainty to any potential move or price tag.
Born in Brazzaville on 27 December 2007, Nongo stands at 1.75m and is described primarily as a defensive midfielder, operating in the holding role and favouring his right foot. He is listed with Congo as his nationality.
For now, the link to Manchester City remains a data-recorded rumour rather than a concrete bid, but any future move to England’s top flight would represent a significant step in Nongo’s development and could prove decisive in shaping both his reputation and his long-term potential.
