Velez Sarsfield coach Gaby Heinze admits they're in Manchester City talks over the sale of Thiago Almada.
City aim to sign the teen ahead of loaning him to Sporting CP.
I talked to Thiago more than once, but these things remain between us," Heinze told A Bola.
"You leave the role of coach, because we talk about an 18-year-old boy who has a very nice smile and I don't want him to lose it.
He is a boy who has confidence and listens to me, and I tell him to look less at the phone and be more with his friends and family. It is not easy because of what is happening."
