Mexican set to join either Betis or Italian giants
Nery Castillo's agent claims the on-loan Manchester City forward is wanted by Italian giants Roma.
The Mexico international joined City in January from Shakhtar Donetsk, but has struggled to make an impact in the Premier League.
Reports have suggested that new City boss Mark Hughes is willing to cut short the loan to allow Castillo to find a new club.
Real Betis are hoping to sign the youngster, but the player's representative Juan Carlos Padilla says Roma have shown an interest.

"Negotiations are quite advanced. I think they are heading the correct direction as it is quite interesting," Padilla told
Mediotiempo.com: .
"I knew it was possible to happen and it is taking better and better shape."
Padilla added that Betis have priority in the negotiations, as the first side to have expressed an interest.
"We want to be fair with Betis as the first option," he added. "Next week it will be defined between Betis or Roma."
Castillo's contract with Shakhtar is ongoing and any move would be on loan.
"We obviously have a lot to analyse and to take care of," Padilla said.
"Even though Roma will play the Champions League and they mean a lot, we also have to consider what they are going to offer, whether Nery will be a key player for them or not.
"The decision depends on ourselves. We must be careful. It is not a matter of money."
