Since Internacional entered into talks to sign Nahuel Bustos, the Brazilian media made it clear the transfer would be a difficult quest, as the Colorado want a loan deal while Manchester City would rather sell him.
So as Zero Hora now features an update on the situation, they explain that it will take a while before there’s an end to this saga.
So they should only reply to the offer in August.
The Brazilian club, who made a bid for a loan, included a buying option to try to convince the Premier League side, but that wasn’t enough to get a deal done now. They’ll wait and keep the player as a ‘plan b’, as they know they can’t count on him for the upcoming stages of the Copa Libertadores.
Bustos, who spent the last couple of seasons on loan at Girona, is valued by Transfermarkt at €3m. Manchester City spent €6.5m to sign him, and now expect to recover part of the investment.
