'When it's not going how you want' - why Man City's Kayky has returned to Brazil for a year

Kayky says his year-long loan move back to his native Brazil will help him rebuild after 18 months at Manchester City.

The winger, 19, signed for City in the summer of 2021 from Fluminense for an initial £8.6m, with add-ons potentially taking the deal to £21m. He was a frequent fixture in first-team training after his arrival at the Etihad, as well as making a number of appearances for the Elite Development Squad, scoring six times.

After two substitute appearances for City last season, plus some friendly cameos in the summer, Kayky spent the first half of the campaign in Portugal on loan at Pacos de Ferreira. However, after nine appearances and no goals, Kayky's loan was cut short and he has now joined Bahia on loan for the entirety of their 2023 season.
