Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic is expected to be announced as a Manchester City player before the end of the week.
The Croatia international has been a key performer for the Blues, but they have decided to sell him for £25m plus add-ons.
The 29-year-old underwent his medical with the Cityzens last week, and his transfer is expected to be confirmed very soon.
Kovacic is expected to fill the void left by Ilkay Gundogan, who has recently joined Barcelona on a free transfer.
Gundogan was the subject of interest from Arsenal and several Saudi clubs, but he decided to join the Spanish champions.
Meanwhile, there could be more midfielders leaving Chelsea after Kovacic. Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek could follow him.
Mount is currently the subject of transfer bids from Manchester United, who are optimistic of finding an agreement soon.
AC Milan are in advanced talks to land Loftus-Cheek. His transfer to the Serie A giants could be pretty straightforward.
