As per the Telegraph, City are expected to trigger the £62.5m release clause in Atletico Madrid star Rodri’s contract.
The 22-year-old has notified the La Liga giants he wants to leave for the Etihad, despite only joining from Villarreal last summer.
The Premier League champions are also looking to secure the signature of Juventus right-back Joao Cancelo.
City are ready to pay an initial £44.5m but Juventus want a deal worth £53.5m plus add-ons.
However, Cancelo’s deal may be difficult if City cannot find a buyer for Danilo.
It’s not certain whether that would totally hinder Cancelo’s arrival though with Danilo attracting interest from other Serie A clubs.
