Atletico Nacional forward Marlos Moreno is set to join Manchester City for a fee of £8-million, according to his agent.

The 19-year-old looks set to sign a five-year deal at City before being loaned out to La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna for the upcoming season.

Moreno’s agent Eladio Tamayo has revealed that his client will become a City player over the weekend.

‘I will travel with Marlos on Saturday to sign a contract with Manchester City,’ Tamayo told Futbolred.

‘He will then go on loan to Deportivo La Coruna for a year. The main architect of all this is Marlos, with his discipline and commitment. I just contributed a little bit.’

Last season, the Colombian forward netted three goals and assisted a further four goals from his 15 appearances in all competitions.
