Ferhat Cogalan will sign a professional contract with Valencia on June 29 when he turns 16.
The fifteen-year-old Valencia wonderkid had been closely linked with Manchester United and Barcelona but Turkish-Football understands he will be staying on at Los Che.
Mundo Deportivo reported earlier this month that United and Barcelona had expressed the keenest interest in snapping up the rising star.
The young attacking midfielder first came to the attention of the Red Devils after being recommended by Phil Neville during his time as Valencia assistant coach.
Cogalan’s father Sedat travelled to Manchester for talks with United at Carrington.
Sedat was quoted by Turkish-Football as saying in 2017: “We’re in no hurry because Ferhat is in contract with Valencia until 2021.
“But when a club like Manchester United invites us, it is logical that we study the proposal, right?”
Nicknamed the ‘jewel’ of the Valencia academy the youngster is one of the most highly rated players in the youth leagues.
Cogalan was born in Arak, Trabzon and joined Valencia aged 12 where he has gone onto establish himself as one of the brightest Turkish footballing talents.
The youngster helped the Valencia youth side win the league title.
The right-footed No 10 also plays for the U17 Turkey national side despite as one of the youngest players in the side.
