Manchester City youngster Dire Mebude is expected to complete a permanent move to Westerlo.
Mebude, who moved to City's academy three years ago from Rangers and was a key part of the Under-21 side that won their league for the third year in a row, is close to signing for the Belgian club in a deal worth up to £1.65m as he looks to kickstart his career in senior football. The Blues will insert a buyback clause and a 30 per cent sell-on into any deal for the 19-year-old.
City's total for money made on homegrown talent this summer nudges further up following the sales of James Trafford to Burnley for up to £19m and Shea Charles to Southampton for up to £15m. That will be pushed up again if Mebude's partner in crime from last season Carlos Borges completes a £14m move to Premier League side West Ham.
Tommy Doyle and Taylor Harwood-Bellis could also move on after being left out of Pep Guardiola's squad to tour Japan and South Korea this summer. Both impressed on loan last season at Sheffield United and Burnley respectively but were not included in the City group that headed for Asia, and there is plenty of interest in the pair.
