MANCHESTER CITY have recalled 19-year-old prospect Kayky from his loan stint at Pacos de Ferreira.
The young winger was sent to Portugal in August to develop but only managed nine appearances across all competitions.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Brazil Under-16 international will be returning to City with immediate effect.
However, the talented teenager is still not part of Pep Guardiola’s plans for the second half of the season.
Instead, the reigning Premier League champions will seek to find a “new project” that will see the young Brazilian going out on loan again.
Romano tweeted: “Manchester City have requested the immediate recall of Brazilian talented winger Kayky, he was on loan to Pacos de Ferreira.

“City Group working to find new project on loan with many possibilities, Kayky will make a decision soon.”
Kayky joined City last year from Fluminense for an initial fee of £9million.
Guardiola handed the youngster his senior debut in January, and the Spanish tactician predicted he’ll be a star in the future.
The forward has only managed two senior appearances and also registered six goals as well as four assists in 14 matches with the Under-21s.

But City have been feeling it’s best for Kayky to go out and hone his skills until it’s time for his big break.
For now, the Brazilian will have to wait for his chance to shine at the Etihad with Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez spearheading the Citizens’ attack.
