Another day passes and he is not registered. It's becoming clear for him to be registered we need wage cuts and exits and that's forgetting Aguero and Garcia too.
If he is not registered by the end of the transfer window it is very likely he will be sitting till at least January, where we can try and move some players again, but that could fail too, and he won't accept to be benched till January nor will he accept a loan till January, a player of his quality won't be tossed around like that and have his future based on the loans of the trunks of Umititi and Pjanic. So in the worst-case scenario we may have to contemplate sending him on loan for a season/loan the other signings too
The future of Ilaix Moriba, I think will become important to this saga, as he is potentially the only player we can collect a good fee from at this point with first-team players attracting no interest.
