Ruben Dias is on the verge of completing his club record move to Manchester City after being spotted departing the Lowry Hotel on Tuesday afternoon.
City will pay £64million for Benfica's captain, who has already completed a medical and agreed personal terms on a long-term contract at the Etihad Stadium.
Dressed in a black suit and white shirt, Dias, who was also wearing a face mask, was pictured getting into a black Mercedes outside the swanky hotel.
He said goodbye to his team-mates last week after City agreed to make him the most expensive player in their history, eclipsing the £62.
