Manchester City’s new £64m man Ruben Dias is spotted ahead of club record move

City’s new £64m man Ruben Dias is spotted in Manchester as he prepares to become the most expensive player in the club’s history after jetting in from Portugal to plug a gap in Pep Guardiola’s leaky defence

Ruben Dias is on the verge of completing his club record move to Manchester City after being spotted departing the Lowry Hotel on Tuesday afternoon.

City will pay £64million for Benfica’s captain, who has already completed a medical and agreed personal terms on a long-term contract at the Etihad Stadium.

Dressed in a black suit and white shirt, Dias, who was also wearing a face mask, was pictured getting into a black Mercedes outside the swanky hotel.
