Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign a Manchester United starlet, according to Fabrizio Romano.
During the summer transfer window, the Blues snapped up top talents in the shape of Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic, Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes.
And the club are on the verge of completing a player for the future, with a deal in place to acquire a youngster from cross-town rivals Man United.
According to Romano, last season's treble winners have agreed a deal to sign 16-year-old Harrison Parker from the Red Devils.

Man United had hoped to keep their promising centre-back and even offered him the highest wage they could to a youth player.
But he turned down their proposal in favour of joining Pep Guardiola's side.
Man City were not the only team in for Parker as Romano states they beat FOUR teams to his signature.
He came through at Arsenal's academy before joining Man United in 2021.

A move to the Etihad club is now in place.
Parker is widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in England's youth circuit so this will come as a huge blow to Man United.
It may take a few years before he breaks into the first-team, with Guardiola boasting the likes of Ruben Dias, John Stones and Manuel Akanji.

He'll harbours ambitions of playing under Guardiola so he can follow in the footsteps of the likes of Phil Foden, Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb, who all graduated from the club's youth academy.
