Shamrock Rovers have confirmed the transfer of their teenage goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu to Manchester City.
In a statement today the Dublin club announced that they have reached a pre-contract agreement with the Premier League Champions.
16-year-old Bazunu will remain with the Rovers first team until 2019, after his Leaving Certificate is complete.
"This is the first major sale of a player who has been developed in the Shamrock Rovers Academy since its inception in 2016," said Shamrock Rovers in a statement.
"Specifics on the transfer details are not being disclosed. However it is fair to say that this is the biggest transfer by an Irish club in the professional era.
"The funds generated from player sales this season are significant which in itself shows that our strategy is being implemented extremely well."
Bazunu made his first team against Bray Wanderers in June and has kept a clean sheet in all four of his league appearances.
