The report has claimed that Premier League champions City have reached an agreement with Leeds for the signing of the England international midfielder.
City will pay Leeds an initial transfer fee of £42 million for Phillips, with potential bonuses valuing £3 million. The transfer could be finalised as early as next week, even though the 26-year-old is on vacation at the moment.
