Manchester City complete the signing of goalkeeper Pierce Charles from Sheffield Wednesday and then loan him to Queens Park Rangers for the 2024-25 season. Multiple reports say Charles, a 20-year-old goalkeeper, returns to City after developing through the club’s academy before leaving for Wednesday to seek regular first-team minutes. City and QPR both describe the loan as season-long.
According to the outlets, Charles signs a five-year contract with Manchester City, with one report stating the deal runs until summer 2031. Another source adds financial context, reporting a fee of £3m for the transfer from Wednesday, while a separate local report references a £10m deal being struck.
Charles is also described as a Northern Ireland international, with one report noting 12 senior caps. At Sheffield Wednesday, he is reported to have made 36 senior appearances, marking the playing time that leads to City’s decision to bring him back while continuing his development through regular matches on loan.
