Stoke City will finalise the £7.25m signing of Bruno Martins Indi from Porto on Wednesday following a medical.
The Holland international flew in on Tuesday night to complete his transfer as Stoke consider loaning defender Marc Muniesa to FC Girona in La Liga.
The 25-year-old joined Stoke from Barcelona but was restricted to just 11 appearances last season and is keen to play more regularly.
Girona, who are part owned by Pep Guardiola's brother Pere and are in partnership with Manchester City, want Muniesa for the season with view to making the deal permanent should they stay up.
