It’s understood that Cifuentes will be loaned out immediately to an unnamed Croatian side despite interest from Celtic.

The Premier League champions have a history of stockpiling South American talent, as seen with Douglas Luiz and Marlos Moreno.

City are also pursuing a deal for Juventus defender João Cancelo.
