Hmmm. I don't know. A real and genuine trial results in an offer to join the club if successful.  Not even sure if that is actually possible in this case given FIFA rules and a club like city is super savvy. Training sessions at the club or at the grounds or with some academy staff are very different and motivations are different.  If I had to gamble, I would say it is more likely the latter than the former.  A legit trial at Man City, where they have intent to buy/transfer the player, is very hard to come by and usually not publicized.  Especially not by the acquiring club because they don't want buzz to increase on the player and make competition stiffer. Clubs usually advise the player to lay low on social media in a legit transfer/trial situation.  I don't doubt training sessions at the grounds of man city probably occurred.  Whether it was an actual trial, I have doubts.  Why Instagram is dangerous and easily susceptible to misinformation. But doing some training at man city is definitely a cool opportunity in any event. Hope things work out for him as a player and if he has overseas ambition that he can make those things happen.[/quote]

Whatever the official label or original intentions, its a trial.

If the club likes what it sees, he'll be on their radar for the future. 
His information is now on file.[/quote]
