Pep Guardiola has confirmed Kelechi Iheanacho is heading to Leicester, but Manchester City do have the option to buy him back.
Iheanacho did not travelled with the rest of the squad to the United States as his move to the King Power Stadium ever closer, and Guardiola said he could not stand in his way.
The City boss accepts he needs to be playing regular first-team football, something he will get with the Foxes, who should wrap up a deal sooner rather than later.
However City will ensure a buy-back clause is inserted in the deal, to ensure they are not stung if they wish to re-sign him in the future.
“He is close to making a deal, a transfer and he decided to stay in Manchester,” the City boss said of Iheanacho. “Maybe next week or the next 10 days he is going to finish.
“We have an option to have the opportunity in a few years to bring him back. But he’s a young player and we believe he deserves to play.”
Meanwhile, Wilfried Bony, who spent last season at Stoke, also looks to be on his way out, but Guardiola insists the only reason he is absent from City’s American tour is due to injury.
