Manchester City agreed to pay a fee for England's RaheemSterling.
The deal includes add-ons and is worth up to £50m, with the option of further years.
Before the deal is announced, a medical needs to be completed by sterling.
Major clubs overseas were interested in the 27 year old, who has one year left on his contract at City.
In his first year with City, he scored 131 goals in 339 games, after signing for a whopping £50m.
If the deal is completed, it will be the first major signing since the takeover of the club by a group led by Todd Boehly.
It is expected that the deal will be done in time for him to join the squad for their pre-season tour of the US next week.
It's understood that decisions by all parties have been friendly, but that's not good enough for the man who wants a fresh challenge.
The player was swayed by the public and private statements of the club that they wanted to sign him.
He has no bad feelings towards the club or the manager.
He sees this as the most important contract of his career and wants to play a key role at a club that is challenging for all the major honours.
He wants to win the Ballon D'Or.
Only two other players besides Manchester United have won more than four titles: John Terry and Fernandinho.
It is believed that he appreciates the time he has been given to make a decision about his future.
Romelu Lukaku returned to Inter Milan on a season-long loan, and Tuchel wanted to increase his attacking ranks.
The Blues' top scorer last season was the Belgian, who scored 15 goals in all competition.
In the last two years, the only two people who have scored more goals for City than Sterling areSergio Aguero and Gabriel Iglesias.
He scored 13 goals in 30 appearances in the premier league last season and won the title for the fourth time.
The signings of Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland made it hard for him to get opportunities.
The final game of the season against Villa was the only game of the season that he didn't start.
He sparked that memorable last-day comeback by setting up Ilkay Gundogan's crucial first goal as City came back from 2-0 down to win the title.
