Manchester City are proceeding with an £11m deal for Anderlecht left wing-back Sergio Gomez, 21, which is expected to be finalised on Thursday.
City are eager to bring in a new left sided defender after missing out on Marc Cucurella, who joined Chelsea from Brighton.
Having developed at Barcelona's La Masia academy, Gomez joined Borussia Dortmund in 2018 before moving on to Anderlecht.
There have been suggestions that Gomez could be loaned out by City, but a final decision has yet to be made.
