The Serbian international joined Roberto Di Matteo\'s side on a season-long loan deal having fallen out-of-favour at Manchester City under manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Heldt has now revealed that the club will try to exercise the option of buying the talented centre-back in the summer.

\"There is an option to buy Matija Nastasic that comes into force after a certain amount of minutes he\'s played, and Nastasic\'s first weeks in general,\" Heldt said.

\"I always confirmed, and I do so now, that we have an option to buy, but this option is conditioned on several situations which must arise.\"
