The Premier League champions have been closely monitoring his development and see him as a player who would fit into their long-term project under manager Pep Guardiola.<\/p>\n<p>But what makes this situation particularly interesting is that Monga is still 16 years old and cannot sign a professional contract.<\/p>\n<p>This leaves Leicester in a vulnerable position, unable to prevent other clubs from swooping in and securing his spot before he turns 17.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Man_City_are_in_a_race_to_sign_Monga\"><\/span>Man City are in a race to sign Monga<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/leicester-city-v-acf-fiorentina-pre-season-friendly-414x276.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/leicester-city-v-acf-fiorentina-pre-season-friendly-630x420.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/leicester-city-v-acf-fiorentina-pre-season-friendly-768x512.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/leicester-city-v-acf-fiorentina-pre-season-friendly-770x514.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/leicester-city-v-acf-fiorentina-pre-season-friendly-900x600.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/leicester-city-v-acf-fiorentina-pre-season-friendly-1200x801.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/leicester-city-v-acf-fiorentina-pre-season-friendly.jpg.webp 1433w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeremy Monga of Leicester City (Photo Credit: Michael Regan\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Citi is not alone in that pursuit.
