When Filip Stevanovic was signed by Manchester City, there was a sense of achievement, as there was a strong competition for the winger.
He’s yet to make an appearance for Pep Guardiola’s side, though, and was sent to SC Heerenveen last summer for two seasons in hope he would get game time and stability.
However, he got neither, with the Eredivisie side struggling to get the best out of him, and Voetbal International are now reporting his time in the Netherlands is ‘coming to an end’.
The aim is to cut the two-year loan short, as he only ever made 10 starts in the league, coming off the bench a further 11 times, and ‘rarely impressed’.
The first year of his loan ‘has yielded so little for both him and Heerenveen that it was decided during an interim evaluation to abandon the second loan year’.
This means that Manchester City now need to find him another club, and they are ‘expected to move the talent elsewhere soon’, with a ‘longer stay in the Eredivisie’ seen as a ‘realistic option’.
