Lars Lambooij, SC Cambuur's technical manager, revealed that the club was in talks with Manchester City this summer over loaning some of their talents. Lambooij confirmed that Cambuur approached City for 18-year-old English winger Ryan McAidoo, but the move did not proceed. According to Lambooij, this was because the Premier League club, upon reconsideration, decided to keep him with the first team. McAidoo has 7 caps and 2 goals for England U18. His current Transfermarkt market value is €8.00m.
