Hellas Verona are locked in talks with Manchester City for midfielder Bruno Zuculini.

After the Argentine's successful loan last season, Hellas Verona are now seeking to extend his stay.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Verona are now in talks with City about a permanent deal for Zuculini.

The midfielder is eager to stay in Verona, with brother Franco also on the books.

Zuculini, 24, joined City three years ago, though has never managed an appearance for the English giants.
