The Athletic reveal that they are set to pay around €40million (£33.6m) for the defender, who will sign a four-and-a-half year deal with the option of an extra year at the Etihad Stadium. Lens chief Pierre Dreossi confirmed earlier this month that Khusanov was set to depart.
Khusanov might not be the only player that City move for this January. They have also been linked with Palmeiras defender Vitor Reis and reportedly had a bid accepted for the teenager.
Away from defenders, City are also closing in on a deal for Eintracht Frankfurt Omar Marmoush. The Egyptian had also been linked with a move to Liverpool after an impressive first-half of the season in which he has scored 18 goals and provided 12 assists.
