Manchester City transfer news: Marlos Moreno joins Flamengo on loan for a year

MANCHESTER CITY starlet Marlos Moreno has joined Flamengo on loan for a year.
Moreno, 21, was loaned to Girona at the start of the season but failed to make an impact.
And after returning to his parent club, the striker now hopes to make his mark back in South America.
City have agreed a deal for Moreno to stay with Brazilian giants Flamengo until December 31.
Moreno signed for City for £4.75million in August of 2016.
He impressed with three goals and four assists as Atletico Nacional won the Copa Libertadores that year.
Moreno was immediately loaned to Deportivo for the 2016-17 season.
He struggled and failed to net in 23 league and cup appearances.
