Manchester City hope to complete the signing of Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodri Hernandez by next week, sources close to ESPN FC have confirmed.
Bayern Munich had been making a strong push for the Spanish international right down to the wire, but several sources have confirmed to ESPN FC that Rodri, 23, has finally opted to accept the offer from City.
Once the agreement is official, he will become the most costly signing in the history of the club, currently managed by Pep Guardiola.
City will have to pay £63 million (€70m) of his release clause due to the fact that Atleti were unwilling to negotiate a reduction.
