Report: Yangel Herrera Could Return to Manchester City Next Season

Yangel Herrera could be headed back to parent club Manchester City. Sport reported that

‘Granada have an option to buy Yangel Herrera from #ManCity for €20M, but this figure is ‘unaffordable’. The La Liga club will try to retain Herrera ‘by all means’ and will ‘seek some formula’ to convince the player and Man City for a transfer.’

He would be a great option and not cost a thing as he re-enters the fray at City under Pep Guardiola. Rumors' of signing a midfielder had quelled and this could be why. That option seems unlikely to be triggered by Granada and could very well be by design.

Herrera has been a rock for Granada who played well in the Europa League and were only knocked out by a huge club in Manchester United. In La Li9ga, Herrera has proven his worth and could come to City as a perfect Fernandinho replacement.
