Real Betis have begun talks to sign Manchester City s Oleksandr Zinchenko on a permanent basis, according to .
Sky claim City had agreed a £16million fee with Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this month, but the deal fell through as the player decided to stay and fight for his place in Pep Guardiola s team.
Now, however, it seems things have taken another turn regarding his future. It had been reported in Spain that Betis were initially after a loan deal for the midfielder but the reply from Manchester was that it was not an option. The 2018 Premier League winners are only interested in a sale and demand a fee of £15million to part ways with the 21-year-old.
Zinchenko made a total of 16 appearances for City, all last season, after spending 2016/17 on loan at PSV Eindhoven and their reserve team. Before moving to England in the summer of 2016, he played two seasons for Russian side Ufa.
