Manchester City are set to make a third bid for Colombian teenager Marlos Moreno, according to Sky sources.

The 19-year-old winger is expected to cost City around £5m, as Pep Guardiola continues his busy summer of transfer negotiations.

The Atletico Nacional player could be City's third signing of the week, following the captures of Schalke's Leroy Sane and Palmeiras' Gabriel Jesus.

It has been suggested that Moreno could be sent out on loan immediately, with Spanish club Deportivo la Coruna a possible destination.

Moreno, who joined Atletico as a youngster in 2010, has played 26 times for the club while collecting seven caps at international level.
