Everton have agreed a fee with Premier League rivals Manchester City for the sale of defender Joleon Lescott.
The England international is expected to undergo a medical on Monday after City finally matched the Merseysiders' valuation of £24 million.
Lescott has been a long-time target of City's manager, Mark Hughes, and handed in a transfer request to force through a move after Everton's manager David Moyes had refused to sell him.
He was not included in Everton's squad for their previous two matches, increasing speculation that a move could be in the offing.
A statement on City's official website said: "Manchester City can confirm that agreement has been reached with Everton for the transfer of Joleon Lescott.
"The move is subject to the player agreeing personal terms and passing a medical."
Lescott now looks poised to join a lengthy list of expensive signings at City this summer, following Emmanuel Adebayor, Carlos Tévez, Kolo Touré, Gareth Barry and Roque Santa Cruz.
