Manchester City's preference on winger's loan move revealed

While the evidence suggests that Manchester City tend to have a plan in place for South America’s unearthed gems, it’s safe to say that things did not work out as planned in the case of Marlos Moreno.

Signed from Atletico Nacional in the summer of 2016, many claimed that Guardiola had a set vision for the Colombian winger, who had been brought in during the Catalan’s first summer window.

However, loan spells to the likes of Deportivo La Coruña, Girona, Flamengo, Santos Laguna, Portimonense, Lommel SK and Kortrijk have suggested that the Spaniard did not deem him fit enough to don the sky blue shirt.

At 25 years of age and with next to no chance of making the grade at the Etihad Stadium, he may be set for yet another loan switch.

However, it has been mentioned that the player remains unconvinced, as he eyes a move to England.

It has also been claimed that a number of Championship clubs are keen on signing Moreno this summer.

Additionally, Sunderland are understood to have submitted a bid to complete his signing, which is said to have been deemed as ‘insufficient’ by the Sky Blues.

Another English side that have shown an interested in signing the want-away star are Middlesbrough, who are also plying their trade in the second tier of English football.

Interestingly, it has also been mentioned that there is interest in Turkey surrounding Moreno.

However, it is stated that a final decision around the player’s future will be made in the coming days.

Ultimately, it would be no surprise to see City sanction Marlos Moreno’s sale, as his current contract only has one year remaining.

He would add to the record-breaking sale total already amassed by City this summer.
