Guadalajara vice-president Nestor de la Torre has claimed the Mexican giants have agreed a deal to sign Nery Castillo.

Castillo is currently on loan at Manchester City from Shakhtar Donetsk but has not featured for Mark Hughes' side this season.

The 24-year-old had been in talks over signing for Guadalajara last month but a deal fell through.

However, De la Torre is hopeful of landing the forward in time for this month's Copa Sudamericana semi-final.

"We have talked to Nery's agent (Juan Carlos Padilla) and we reached an agreement, so he will be the person to make negotiations easy to get the international documents soon," De la Torre told mediotiempo.com.

"The vice-president is very happy with this possibility. Nery can help us in both championships. He is a player who can play both championships."
