According to reports in Argentina, City have secured their third marquee for the 2016-17 A-League season

The agent of Boca Juniors winger Nicolas Colazo has told Argentine radio that his client has accepted an offer from Melbourne City.

City coach John van 't Schip is looking to sign a third player outside the A-League's salary cap, with Bruno Fornaroli having been upgraded to marquee status, while Tim Cahill has been signed under the upgraded guest player rule.

Goal Australia revealed last week that Colazo is on a list of possible recruits for City.

Speaking to a program called Bocade Seleccion on Sunday, Sergio Levington revealed Colazo is in Italy to secure an Italian passport before adding that the 26-year-old has agreed to join City.

"Nico [Colazo] is on a trip. He is in Italy to get an EU passport," Levington was quoted as saying.

"It is all done so that Colazo can play for Melbourne City in Australia."

Boca have told their former academy graduate that he can find a new home after nine seasons with the Buenos Aires-based giants.

Colazo has been linked with Boca's Primera Division rivals Colon, while there were also reports in June that he had attracted interest from Italian Serie A outfits Atalanta, Chievo and Torino.

The World Game have reported that Colazo has been offered a contract worth approximately $450,000 per year but City declined to comment when contacted by Goal Australia.

Meanwhile, reports in Greece claim Western Sydney Wanderers are about to secure an Argentine attacking midfielder of their own.

Nicolas Martinez is expected to join the Wanderers on loan from Olympiacos, with the 28-year-old having never made an appearance for the Greek Super League giants.

Martinez signed for Olympiacos in July 2015 after impressing for another Super League outfit Panetolikos from January 2014.

Last season, the playmaker was loaned to Anorthosis Famagusta in Cyprus where he made 33 competitive appearances and scored two goals.
