City describe the player as being ‘very comfortable in possession and with great technical ability’, progressing through the club’s Under-18s after 19 appearances at that age level, before completing four outings for the club’s Elite Development Squad all in his debut season.

The 2022/23 campaign brought more success in terms of appearances for Manchester City’s Under-18s and EDS teams, before making the permanent progression into Brian Barry-Murphy‘s EDS for the recently-concluded 2023/24 season.

Having now also made three appearances for Finland’s senior squad at international level, Galvez is being entrusted to step into senior club football on a permanent basis during the upcoming season, with a loan deal reportedly finalised.

That is according to the information of Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke, Tomas Galvez has agreed a deal to join Austrian club LASK on loan from Manchester City for the duration of the upcoming 2024/25 campaign.

There may be opportunity to see the teenager in action for Pep Guardiola’s side this summer however, with the report explaining that the 19-year-old is set to leave the Premier League champions on loan once he returns from the pre-season tour of the United States.

Left-back has been somewhat of a problem position for Manchester City over the years, however manager Pep Guardiola has found some consistency in using left-sided centre-backs in the role, supplying top level performances to his squad.

The most-recent campaign saw Josko Gvardiol stand mostly in the left-back position, with back-up from Nathan Ake whilst the Dutchman also added to the strength in depth across the central defensive roles.

Manchester City could yet turn to the transfer market for a new left-back, having sanctioned a permanent agreement for Sergio Gomez to leave the club for Real Sociedad in a €10 million deal. However, any new recruit in the role will not be a first-choice solution.
