Philippe Sandler’s Manchester City stay could be coming to a close with Feyenoord locked in negotiations to buy the 24-year-old defender.
The 6ft 2ins Holland under-20 international joined the Blues in 2018 from PEC Zwolle and has made just two senior appearances; as a substitute in the 7-0 FA Cup rout of Rotherham in 2019, and then 17 days later playing 90 minutes as City beat Burton Albion 1-0 away in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
The Ajax youth product cost City in the region of £1.6million when he signed, and the Blues are expected to recoup a nominal fee from Feyenoord if a potential deal gets completed in time.
Sandler has had terrible luck with injuries during his stay at City. He linked up with Vincent Kompany for Anderlecht in 2019-20 but after making 11 appearances he had a bad knee injury that saw him ruled out for the season and returning to Manchester for treatment.
He then had an ankle injury that required surgery, meaning he was again left in limbo last season, and a loan move to sister club Troyes has seen him play just twice in the first half of this season, with that loan being curtailed last week.
With six months of his current deal left, City are happy for him to leave, but a deal is being thrashed out with hours to go before the deadline.
There seems to be a sticking point, with City wanting a permanent move with a buy-back clause, while Feyenoord want him on loan for the remaining six months of his contract.
