Manchester City are moving for Barcelona di Guayaquil striker Allen Obando.
The U17 Ecuador international has been scouted extensively by City Football Group (CFG).
And TMW says CFG are now ready to close Obando's signing in a deal worth around £1.75m.
The teen is also a target for Fiorentina and Napoli.
Obando will turn 16 in June and cannot move to Europe until he turns 18 in 2025.
