Jason Denayer's agent has revealed that the defender could leave Manchester City before the end of the transfer window.
The Belgian, who impressed on loan at Celtic last season, was a regular in Manuel Pellegrini's side in their preparations for the new campaign and signed a new five-year deal with the club last month.
However, Denayer looks unlikely to be given many first-team opportunities in the near future as City close in on the signing of Valencia centre-back Nicolas Otamendi.
"He was not in the squad against Chelsea, that was no surprise to us. But if City get a defender, that's it. If he is to sit on the bench or in the stands, he leaves," Jesse de Preter, the 20-year-old's agent, is quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
Denayer, who could be made available for another season-long loan, has won three caps for Belgium at senior level.
