Esporte Clube Bahia to send three youth players to Manchester City

Esporte Clube Bahia, through its integration with the City Football Group, is sending three youth players to England for an exchange program at Manchester City. The players, identified as Leônidas, Daniel David, and Lyan, will participate in training sessions and experience the English club's developmental routine from November 29 to December 14.

Marcelo Teixeira, Bahia's youth executive director, stated that the initiative is designed for player development, allowing the athletes to experience a different culture, language, and training environment. The exchange is strictly formative and does not involve contract trials.

The group includes defender Leônidas and forwards Daniel David and Lyan, all of whom have experience with Brazilian national youth teams. This program continues a series of international exchanges facilitated by the City Football Group, following previous trips by players to clubs in England, Spain, and Belgium.
