The 21-year-old is now due to discuss personal terms over a move to the Premier League champions.
Manchester City has agreed an initial £11million fee with Anderlecht for Spain Under-21 left-back Sergio Gomez, Football Mad understands.
The 21-year-old former Barcelona Academy player will now discuss terms with the Premier League champions regarding a potential move.
City has been short of options at left-back after the departure of Oleksandr Zinchenko over the summer left Joao Cancelo as the only senior specialist in the position.
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, which 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 has 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 former City captain Vincent Kompany managed him.
