Matija Nastasic will join Schalke on loan until the end of the season. They'll have an option to buy him for £9.4m when his loan ends

Its something I suppose (assuming they are paying all his wages), but not a 'great deal' from our end is it?

If I understand correctly.......Even a loan with no agreement to buy means we can bring in Bony without compromising FFP.Then,in the summer,we can act accordingly when the restrictions are reduced.

We also get a loan fee,so a good deal imo.

EXCLUSIVE
By Paul Clennam

Schalke have reached an agreement with Manchester City over a deal for defender Matija Nastasic, Goal can reveal.

The centre-back, who has fallen out of favour at the Etihad Stadium, will join the German club initially on loan but with a view to a £10 million permanent transfer in the summer.

Goal understands Roberto Di Matteo's side, who are currently fifth in the Bundesliga table, will pay Nastasic's £75,000-a-week wages in full during the six-month loan period.

Negotiations between the two clubs have been ongoing over the past two weeks, with Schalke unable to afford a permanent transfer in January and having only been willing to pay £8m for the Serbia international.

The Bundesliga club have, however, now agreed to meet City's £10m valuation at the conclusion of the 2014-15 campaign, when they will have more funds available for transfers.

Nastasic has been frozen out at City and has only featured in one game thus far this season - the 3-0 Community Shield defeat to Arsenal back in August.

The 21-year-old was initially offered to Premier League rivals Tottenham and Arsenal back in November for a cut-price fee but is now set to complete a switch to Schalke with an official announcement expected in the coming days.

Very interesting......Mr Clennan suggesting its a guaranteed purchase?

I agree...only place I've seen its a 10m guaranteed purchase in the summer....anyone confirm? Would mean we could add his wages (and his fee!!) to our spending limits in Jan! ;)

Shame it didn't work out here for him
He will be great in a more defensive system
Wish him all the best

It's a decent move for all parties and it doesn't stop us from putting in a buy back clause when moves on permantely.
