Treble winners, Manchester City are on the verge of signing Rennes midfielder Jeremy Doku.
Fabrizio Romano, the renowned transfer specialist and journalist for CaughtOffside, has given the Belgian winger the famous “here we go” treatment.
Doku, who is 21 years of age, has verbally agreed to a £51m move and is expected to take Riyad Mahrez’s place as his long-term replacement after the Algerian decided to join Al-Ahli earlier in the transfer season.
Fabrizio said: “Medical tests are being scheduled later this week, personal terms agreed on a long-term deal.
“The fee will be close to €60m package but it will include very favourable payment terms for City.
Although Rennes are set to receive a club-record fee for Doku, whose impending transfer will surpass Nayef Aguerd’s £30m move to West Ham last year, Manchester City fans will be delighted with the business their team have done.

While so many players move to clubs, here and abroad, for staggering sums, Manchester City are once again set to complete a modest deal that has so far gone relatively under the radar.
Doku’s impending arrival at the Etihad will signify exactly why the treble-winners are one of the best teams in the world, both on and off the field of play.
