Manchester City will name Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini as their new manager on Monday evening. The Malaga manager has been long linked as a replacement for Roberto Mancini.
Man City have flown the 59-year-old to Manchester to discuss terms with the coach and it is understood that they will give the former Villarreal manager a huge transfer warchest to spend on new players.
Pellegrini himself also confirmed that talks with the Citizens are already under way.
"I have an agreement to start conversations with Manchester City," Pellegrini said.
"Now the league is over we will start from Monday to look forward and to see where my future lies.
"Some rumours will be right, others won't, but I have kept my focus on Malaga until now.
"It is going to be hard for me to leave Spain after nine years.
"It's a country that has treated me marvellously well. An important era of my life ends, and my future will surely take me to another country."
