Marlos Moreno

[domalino]

its not if anymore, his club confirmed already. Signed by City and loaned out to Spain

.

The Twitter account that announced it today's is not an official one, but a fan one.

It's still an "if"

 

[MrDaveyHavoc]

Love the signing, exciting talent...just wish we werent having to pay over £8mil for a guy we loaning out and wont see play in a City shirt for 1 or 2 seasons.....

Agreed, although one alternative scenario is he becomes a target in 2-3 seasons and his club want 40 or 50 for him!

Yep my bad

 

[Neville Kneville]

It would be nice to get some confirmation of this. Looks exciting. I'd like to see kids like this battling it out for first team games with our kids right now rather than on loan personally.

Brings extra life to the squad.

Indeed,it seems,while he provides a wonderful service, people are quoting Citywatch as an official source of information,he isn't.

2017 we could potentially have sterling, Roberts, Moreno and sane all fighting it out for two spots.

 

[Kompany is King]

Be delighted if he signs.
Hope he gets to go on pre-season tour to China so Pep/we can have a look at him before a decision on possible loan deal.

Looks an incredible talent. Well done to our South American scouts for getting us to this point. Now just the final piece of the jigsaw.

More verified accounts in Colombia are going with the story of us signing him and going straight to Deportivo. More verified accounts than I've seen previously I might add.

 

[deano ou812]

We seem to be signing a few players and then sending them out on loan or could he stay with us,is this lad good know nothing about him..

 

[obliquerays]

More 'when' than 'if' now surely ?

Rapid, skillful, direct and full of conviction for a teenager .... sterner tests await but I like him.

There's a very clever and shrewd succession plan going on at City. Look at Marlos Moreno, in a couple of years he can replace Nolito. Roberts can replace Navas next summer, and Brahim can replace Silva.

People don't like clubs stockpiling young talents, but it's shrewd to get them now for relatively cheap, rather than paying £70m for them when they're 24 years old.

 

[Armaan]

Any decent video of him?

Only if we do actually play them when those players you mentioned move on.

   Pep Guardiola had a direct impact in the transfer, strongly backing the deal and has high expectations of Moreno (19). [Calciomercato]

There's absolutely no reason why we wouldn't.

He's one the best talents in South America, this is a major signing for us. All the big clubs wanted him Benfica would've probably sold him for a huge fee after a couple of seasons. Going to La Liga for a year we'll help keep his game up while getting used to Europe. This summer I've been feeling like I'm watching a young Neymar before the Barca move that's how special I think this kid will be. Think about it, he only has 26 games under his belt but already has 7 caps for the 3rd ranked National team after only playing U17.

Cheers for the info,take you watch a lot of South American football,also seem to be well clued up on this lad..

 

[worsleyweb]

This seems like the type of signing Porto make regularly where they buy someone for ten million and the season after sell him for 40 million. Well done city. Future proofing.

I'm not well with South American football, but isn't Gabriel Jesus another one which we were also linked with? How is he compared to Marlos Moreno? Is Marlos Moreno the more prominent player we're signing? I'm hearing either him or Gabriel Jesus being the big upcoming talents of South American football. Both look undoubtedly good in Youtube.
