Manchester City have reached an agreement to sign defender Ruben Dias from Benfica for €68 million euros plus add-ons, the Portuguese club have said.
City’s Argentinian defender Nicolas Otamendi will go the other way in a separate transfer for 15 million euros, Benfica said.
Benfica confirmed the transfers in a statement on Sunday but said the players would still need to sign their respective contracts.
Dias, 23, has made 137 appearances during a four-year spell with the Portuguese club, winning the league title in 2018-19. He has won 19 caps for Portugal and was part of the side that lifted the UEFA Nations League trophy last year.
