Girona guaranteed a top-four finish in La Liga this season with last weekend's 4-2 win over Barcelona, Michel's side recording 23 victories from 35 matches. They will play in their first Champions League campaign as a result, although if they were to be eliminated at the group stage and unable to play City in the knockouts, Echeverri's loan move would be back on. However, City are reportedly eyeing Real Sociedad, Real Betis and Las Palmas as alternative destinations for the Argentine.
