Schalke have confirmed that Matija Nastasic has passed his medical and is now officially having previously agreed a deal with Manchester City.

Nastasic joined City from Fiorentina in the summer of 2012 but after a promising debut campaign under Roberto Mancini, the Serb has failed to win the trust of Manuel Pellegrini, making just one club appearance this season.
Schalke have agreed to pay Nastasic's €96,000-a-week wages in full for the duration of the loan, clearing one significant obstacle to City completing the €36m signing of Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony - the Premier League champions are unable to increase their wage bill as a result of Financial Fair Play penalties.
Nastasic's departure leaves Manuel Pellegrini with club captain Vincent Kompany, €41m summer signing Eliaquim Mangala, Martin Demichelis and Dedryck Boyata as senior options in the centre of defence.
