Sergio Aguero is expected in England today to complete his £39 million move to Manchester City.
The Atletico Madrid striker has been a long-term target for Roberto Mancini.
But the manager's urgency to secure the Argentina international, 23, increased when Carlos Tevez declared his intent to quit the Etihad.
Aguero, who is married to Diego Maradona's daughter, is due to undergo a medical today before finalising a five-year contract with City, worth £170,000 a week, says The Sun.
The player has made 175 appearances for Atletico and scored 74 goals. He has also hit 13 goals in 30 senior matches for Argentina.
The capture of Aguero is a major boost to City, who beat off competition from Italians Juventus and Inter Milan and Spaniards Real Madrid.
