Playmaker Bernardo Silva will join Manchester City from Monaco on July 1, the Premier League club have announced.
Silva's arrival would signal the start of manager Pep Guardiola's overhaul of a squad which finished a disappointing third in the Premier League in his first season in charge.
On Thursday the club announced the departures of goalkeeper Willy Cabellero, full-backs Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna - in addition to the previously-known departure of Pablo Zabaleta - and winger Jesus Navas as the clear-out of players signed by previous managers began.
