Manchester City are closing on a deal for Atletico Nacional winger Marlos Moreno.

The Daily Mail says City have stolen a march in pursuit of Colombian wonderkid Moreno.

A host of Europe's elite sides - including Manchester United and Benfica - are chasing 19-year-old Moreno, who scored his first international goal at this month's Copa America.

City held positive discussions with his club, Atletico Nacional, and are understood to have agreed a fee of around £8million for the winger.

Manager Pep Guardiola has plans to allow Moreno to experience European football out on loan in La Liga for the season should a transfer be completed in the coming weeks.
