Manchester City are ready to make Jason Denayer available for loan.
The Sunday Mirror says the Etihad hierarchy are looking to send promising young Belgium international Denayer out on loan for another season because the arrival of Nicolas Otamendi means Manuel Pellegrini has five centre-backs.
Denayer, 20, was promised first-team action when he returned to the club after a successful loan spell at Celtic.
He now looks set to spend another season away from the Etihad - with French side Marseille interested.
