Manchester City have had a €40million bid accepted for Benfica goalkeeper Ederson, the Portuguese club have confirmed.
The 23-year-old's move to the Premier League will make him the world's second most expensive goalkeeper, after Gianluigi Buffon, who joined Juventus for €53m in 2001.
Ederson would become City's second signing ahead of next season after the capture of Bernardo Silva from Monaco, with Benfica confirming 50 per cent of the transfer fee paid by City will go to third parties if the deal is completed.
City are keen to add a new goalkeeper to their squad after the release of Willy Caballero, while Guardiola is thought to be unhappy with Claudio Bravo's performances.
Joe Hart also returns to the Etihad Stadium following his loan spell at Torino, but the England international's future appears to lie elsewhere.
