Manchester City who are Premier League giants are reportedly ready set to complete the signing of Portuguese defender Ruben Dias from Benfica in a deal expected to be £64 million.
The Citizens’ manager Pep Guardiola has been monitoring the 23-year-old player since last season even before his side lost the Premier League title to Liverpool.
According to the report on UK Sun and also cited on GOAL, Manchester City and Benfica chiefs have agreed deal for Ruben Dias to make a move to the Etihad stadium.
Nicolas Otamendi will head the opposite way in a separate deal with both players still needing to finalize their moves by signing contracts this summer.
