Eliaquim Mangala is set to hold talks with Manchester City in an attempt to convince them to accept a loan offer from Inter Milan.
The France international was on the bench for City's first two Premier League games, but the club remain keen to ship him out before the window slams shut next week.
Inter have proposed a loan deal, but City are thought to want a permanent solution to Mangala's future this summer.
Talks have since stalled due to City insistence on selling him, but Mangala is now set to intervene to try and break the deadlock between both parties.
