Sporting director Hugo Viana is the one travelling to Manchester.
He’s the one who will be receiving a ‘formal offer’ once he gets in the city.
There are claims that in the first approaches, Manchester City had shown they could pay €50m.
This time, however, City are ready to go to €70m, although the initial offer will be for the lower figure.
Pep Guardiola’s side reportedly want to avoid the ‘enormous competition’ there is for the midfielder, and that’s why they are trying to do things before the season is even over.
