Manchester City loanee Nery Castillo could be set for a move to his native Mexico with Guadalajara.

The Mexican side have confirmed they are in talks to sign Castillo, who is in the second half of a year-long loan at Manchester City from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Castillo does not figure in Mark Hughes' plans and the City boss is willing to let him move on.

The 24-year-old came close to joining Real Betis during the summer transfer window, but the deal fell through.

While the domestic transfer window is closed in Mexico, Guadalajara could sign Castillo to play in the continental Copa Sudamericana competition.

Guadalajara president Nestor de la Torre told the El Universal newspaper a deal could be done in the next 48 hours.

"Nothing is certain yet," de la Torre told El Universal. "This evening, we could determine something either for the positive or the negative."
