will replace Riyad Mahrez with Jeremy Doku after agreeing a £55.5million deal with Rennes for the winger.
The Belgian will undergo a medical in the north-west over the next 48 hours before signing a five-year deal with City.
The 21-year-old had attracted interest from around the following an impressive Ligue 1 campaign last term.
Doku scored six times last season, and he netted on the opening day of this campaign.
Pep Guardiola wants Doku for his direct style of play and his ability to take defenders on in a one-on-one.
He will become City’s third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol.
Guardiola remains keen on signing another midfielder, given Kevin De Bruyne is out for at least the next three months.
City had agreed a deal with West Ham for Lucas Paqueta but it’s unclear if the club will proceed with the transfer.
