Manchester City are poised to receive £12.2million from Inter Milan following Stevan Jovetic's appearance against Pescara on Sunday.
The terms of Jovetic's initial 18-month loan stipulated that the deal would be made permanent on the player's first appearance of this season.
Inter had tried to offload Jovetic to Fiorentina in the summer and avoid the payment while Premier League clubs also showed interest.
The 26-year-old Montenegro international has been left out of Inter's Europa League squad.
