Bruno Zuculini is on the search for a new loan club after his spell with Valencia was brought to a premature end.

The Argentine forward was brought to the Etihad Stadium from Racing Club in his native Argentina over the summer and played a prominent role in pre-season.

The Blues preferred to loan him out for further experience, however, with Valencia viewed as the ideal place to hone his talents.

But he has since featured for just 45 minutes for Nuno's men, prompting City to bring him back early.

Getafe are now already being linked with a swoop for the 21-year-old, and Pellegrini has explained that he is likely to go out again.

"We will see what happens with Bruno. He is not playing for Valencia," the Blues boss said.

"It is very important for him to play this year, I don’t know where.

"We will see in the next days until the close of the transfer window what will happen to him.

"[I am] disappointed because I repeat, it was very important for the player to play. He went to a very good team with important midfielders.

"Maybe for different reasons, I don’t know why, he didn’t play. He is a very important player, a young player, I am sure he has a future here."
