Manchester City and Anderlecht have agreed a fee of £11 million (€13 million) for left-back Sergio Gomez.
He is expected to arrive in Manchester within the next 24 to 48 hours to complete the move and undergo a medical.
City considers the 21-year-old to be a development player and intends to loan him out to one of the other City Group clubs.
It is not out of the question that he will join Pep Guardiola’s first-team squad this season, but City remains focused on other first-team targets.
Gomez was on City’s radar when they were looking for a replacement for Marc Cucurella, who eventually signed with Chelsea.
