Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is stalling on releasing Oleksandr Zinchenko for loan.
ABC says City are set to make a final decision on Zinchenko's role amid increased transfer speculation.
The Ukrainian midfielder was poised to join Real Betis on loan, however Kevin de Bruyne's injury has reportedly cast doubt over a deal.
The report suggests Zinchenko is also tempted by a move to Girona, while Celtic have also shown an interest.
