Abel Hernandez could well move back to Serie A this summer with Chievo starting talks with the player.
Representatives of Hernandez are due to meet with Chievo in the coming days to form a deal for the Uruguayan international.
Recent reports have suggested that Hernandez has attracted the attention of several other Italian clubs including Sassuolo and Torino.
Hernandez, who is City’s record transfer at £12 million, failed to deliver in his season in England, scoring just four goals in 25 top flight appearances.
