Manchester City agree £11 million fee for Anderlecht defender Sergio Gomez
He's expected to arrive in Manchester for a medical in the next couple of days
Manchester City have agreed an £11 million fee with Belgian side Anderlecht for left-back Serigo Gomez.
The 21-year-old Spaniard is expected to arrive in Manchester for a medical in the next couple of days and will now discuss personal terms with the club.
City have been short of left-back options after the departure of Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal, although it's believed Gomez will go out on loan.
There had been interest in Brighton's Marc Cucurella but the club began to explore other avenues after the Seagulls refused to lower their £50million asking price. He later joined Chelsea in a deal that could rise to a reported £62million.
It is understood, however, that City will continue to pursue other options even if they conclude a deal for Gomez. The Anderlecht youngster was initially targeted as a development player and this remains the case.
He will be assessed in training and will have the opportunity to earn a place in the first-team squad but he could be sent out on loan to gain experience. Sister club Girona have been reported as a potential destination.
Gomez joined Borussia Dortmund after leaving Barcelona in 2018 and had a loan spell at Huesca before moving to Anderlecht, where he was managed by former City captain Vincent Kompany, last year.
