Chelsea's Axel Disasi had been linked with a move across London, but is instead set to join Aston Villa, who also added more firepower with the signing of Marco Asensio on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.
City's spending was the second-biggest outlay ever worldwide by a club in the January transfer window behind Chelsea's 274 million pounds in 2023, according to Transfermarkt.
The 21-year-old Ecuador international had also been a target for Premier League rivals Liverpool, who on Friday agreed a reported record £110 million fee with Brighton.
