KalvinPhillips is going to have a medical at Manchester City on Friday.
Last week, Manchester City agreed a fee in the region of 50 million dollars for the England player who came through the academy.
Sky Sports News understands that out of loyalty to his hometown club,Phillips has turned down offers from other clubs.
Fernandinho left the club this summer after nine years and will be replaced by the 26 year old.
Sky Sports' Sam and Jayant wrote.
The England player might have the keys to the city. There is little to no doubt thatPhillips would stay at Elland Road for the rest of his career because he is a fan of the Whites.
"But Manchester City, who have agreed a deal withLeeds to sign the 26-year-old, can promise trophies, and a real step up in his career." Jack Grealish was a top-flight winner in a year.

Danny Mills is a former player for Manchester City.
He is an excellent player. I think he will join their squad, but I don't think he will start every game. It's very congested in the middle of the field, with Rodri in that position.
He's going to have to work his way into the team, that's not going to be easy."
He's going to play a lot of games next season, like he did this season. At Manchester City, you have to accept that you will be a squad player at times.
It's a move thatPhillips couldn't refuse. He's going to be playing in Europe's top competition, and he's going to try to win a trophy.
He had no choice but to accept the offer because it was probably too good to be true. He had to accept it even though he loved it.

Sky Sports News has a former player speaking.
It has been an incredible rise for someone that has come through the academy.
It's frustrating as we don't want to see one of our own leave. He has been a leader with his performances. It's a shame to see him leave from a fan's angle, but it's an amazing opportunity and nobody would begrudge him the move.
It's a great deal for City because of Fernandinho's departure. A potential legend is being replaced with a living one. It's a great deal from City's point of view.
I am very happy for him. He's a great guy. The boys will be sad to see him leave.
The Manchester City player will join the Yorkshire club.
The transfer isn't part of thePhillips transfer.
On September 1, the transfer window closes.
