The Sun claim City bigwig Ferran Soriano held negotiations with the Portuguese giant's president Luis Filipe Vieira and super agent Jorge Mendes in London yesterday.
Eliaquim Mangala has a 'deal in place' to return to Porto.

According to Tuttosport in Italy, City's offer stands at €60million (£53million).
Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness admits a deal for Leroy Sane may not be possible.
The Manchester City winger is one of Bayern's top targets as they look to replace Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, who have both left the club.
Sane is understood to be keen on the switch having often been left out in big games by boss Pep Guardiola in 2018/19.
But Hoeness told Sport Bild he is unsure whether Bayern can afford to buy the 23-year-old: “I do not have exact numbers yet, but I think that the financial framework is very difficult. The whole package is difficult.”
Gabriel Jesus could be on his way out of Manchester City.
The 22-year-old Brazilian is behind Sergio Aguero in the pecking order at City and started just eight league games this season.

He is set for talks with the club over his future next week.
Man City target Bruno Fernandes has spoken out about his future.
The Sporting Lisbon star told Portuguese TV channel SIC: “I honestly don’t know. I like to focus on things once the season is over, when I can think with calmness.
“The financial aspect always weights a lot, we have a short career. But staying here, I will always be able to raise money, it’s not a financial issue. It’s a matter of having dreams left to realise.
“It’s a difficult choice, we never know what’s going to happen. My connection to Sporting is very strong.”
Declan Rice has dismissed rumours he could leave West Ham.
The 20-year-old midfielder has been a revelation for the Hammers since breaking into the first team last season.
Manchester City were linked with the England starlet last season while United are reportedly tracking him.
“I know that there’s speculation but I signed a five-year contract with West Ham during the season,” Rice said.
“So my focus is fully on playing for West Ham. I’ve got a great connection with the fans; the fans love me and I love them and that’s the way it is at the moment. I’m not thinking about anything else, for sure.”
Manuel Pellegrini wants Manchester City's Fabian Delph at West Ham this summer, according to reports.
The former City manager is keen to boost his Hammers squad this summer and is targeting a deal for the 29-year-old.
Delph, who can play in midfield and defence, is reportedly available for £15m.

Paulo Dybala has confirmed he wants to remain with Juventus next season.

But the 25-year-old has publicly stated he intends to remain with the Italian champions: “[Juventus director of sport Fabio] Paratici knows what I want to do next year – to keep playing here.
“Paratici knows that next year I want to continue here. Then it doesn’t depend on me.
“Juventus must make its choices with the coach that will come. But society knows it – next year I want to stay here.
“I have a lot of respect for this shirt and for these fans, and because of this I will only talk about Juventus, not about other teams, because that seems to me a lack of respect.”
Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar would prefer to join Manchester City this summer over Liverpool, according to the Mirror.
The Reds have been tracking the 20-year-old Frenchman this season with the view of making a summer approach.
But Aouar has hinted he wants to play under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium, having been lauded by the boss after City’s 2-2 draw at Parc OL in November.
Guardiola said after that Champions League game: “Aouar is a very good player, he is incredible. He's always very calm with the ball at his feet, with an excellent technical quality.”
Speaking to Canal Plus Aouar said about the Blues: “City is a great European club and all players have this urge to play for the biggest European clubs, which in addition is led by Guardiola, who for me is a reference as a coach.
“Guardiola has seen everything before. It is extremely good to play his teams and that's what I like, his way of seeing football.”
Manchester City are also monitoring Real Betis attacking midfielder Giovani Lo Celso, according to reports.
The Argentine has been linked with a move to Tottenham this summer, with Spurs reportedly having a recent £52million bid for the 23-year-old turned down by the Spanish club.
Man United and Real Madrid have also been linked with an interest, and now City have joined the race, claim the Manchester Evening Post.

Lyon star Houssem Aouar has heaped praise on Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola – but insists he is in no rush to leave.
The French midfielder, 20, has been an impressive performer for the Ligue 1 side, catching the eye of clubs across Europe.
“It is a great European club and all players have this urge to play for the biggest European clubs, which in addition is led by Guardiola, who for me is a reference as a coach,” he said.
“Guardiola has seen everything before. It is extremely good to play his teams and that's what I like, his way of seeing football.”
Aouar, however, maintains he is in no rush to move on.
“I'm still under contract with Lyon,” he added. “I would like to leave a mark on the history of this club.
“After this season there is a new direction, a new coach [Sylvinho]. We will have to sit down and discuss the role I can have. I'm ready to have a technical leadership role.
“I'm a technical leader in the field and especially as a leader in the locker room, so there we go, we will discuss and then we will make decisions with the club.”
Manchester City are being tipped to move for £40million-rated Youri Tielemans.
The Monaco midfielder, 22, has starred on loan at Leicester in 2019 and the King Power top brass are desperate to seal a permanent deal.
But The Sun report that Pep Guardiola wants the Belgian and City have made contact with his representatives about a switch to the Etihad Stadium.
Leroy Sane will join Bayern Munich, according to Lothar Matthaus.
The Bayern legend says he is 'sure' the Manchester City winger will move to the German champions this summer.
He expects Sane, 23, to cost Bayern a record fee of around 100million euros but insists it will be well worth the outlay.
Writing in his column for Sky, Matthaus said: “Quality always has its price and Sane is more expensive than the previous record transfer of 80 million for Lucas Hernandez.
“He may not be quite as expensive as Neymar, but 100 million is likely to be. Salary, bonus payments and transfer fees together, become a new record in Bayern's history. But the player is worth it.
“I am sure he will move to Munich. If Uli Hoeneß publicly reveals that it makes an effort for the player, this lands in the vast majority of cases in Bavaria.
“And it would be a fantastic transfer, as Sane is one of the best wing strikers out there. Tricky, dangerous for goal, fast, usable on both wings and provided with a great future. Pep Guardiola is not really satisfied with him, the player wants to play more regularly and Bayern looks for the departure of Robben and Ribery at least one man for the outer lane. It would be a win-win transfer for all parties.”
Aston Villa have leapt to the front of the queue in the race to sign Charlton whizkid Joe Aribo, report The Sun.
The midfielder, 22, has had an outstanding season at the Valley but is out of contract in the summer.

Maurizio Sarri has reportedly reached an agreement to leave Chelsea and manage Juventus next season after Pep Guardiola snubbed the Old Lady.
According to SNAI journalist Tancredi Palmeri, the Italian boss, who has been at Stamford Bridge for just one year, will return to his home country after being tempted with a €7million per year deal from the Serie A champions.
Pep Guardiola is also understood to have been approached by Juve, however it’s claimed he turned them down to remain with his Manchester City treble winners.
Joao Felix has spoken out about his future amid links with Man United and Man City.
He told Benfica's website: “I think that time will tell. I'm good here, I'm very happy, I love the club.
“I adore these fans who adore me. I want to enjoy the moment, play ball, have fun doing what I like, and then, over time, things happen naturally.
“I am very happy in Benfica.”
