Manchester City reportedly near an agreement with Juventus for right-back Joao Cancelo.

Manchester City are reportedly nearing an agreement with Juventus for Portuguese right-back Joao Cancelo.

The Citizens are widely expected to bring a new right-sided defender to the Etihad Stadium before this summer's transfer window closes to provide competition for Kyle Walker.

Cancelo has been linked with a move to Pep Guardiola's side over the last couple of months, although Juve were thought to be refusing to budge on their £45.5m valuation.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, though, an agreement between the two clubs "is getting closer", with City defender Danilo being included as part of the deal.

Romano claims that Danilo has already agreed personal terms with the Italian champions, meaning that the deal is expected to go through before the English transfer window closes next week.

Cancelo, who was also linked with Manchester United earlier this summer, scored once and provided five assists in 34 appearances for the Old Lady last term.
