Benfica goalkeeper Ederson has arrived in Manchester as his £35million transfer to City moves closer to completion.
The club are still to negotiate a settlement on the 23-year-old's third-party ownership issues first but they are hopeful he will undergo a medical on Tuesday afternoon.
Last week Antonio Silva Campos, president at Ederson's former club Rio Ave, revealed they still hold 30 per cent of the player's rights and Jorge Mendes' agency Gestifute 20 per cent with Benfica having the other half.
The Football Association banned third-party ownership in 2008 and it was outlawed by FIFA in 2015 but allowed existing arrangements to remain in place until their contractual expiry and this is what City are working through at present.
