Dias will join City with Nicolas Otamendi going the other way after Pep Guardiola's side were embarrassed in 5-2 Premier League defeat to the Foxes
Benfica have confirmed they have sold Ruben Dias to Manchester City - with Nicolas Otamendi going the other way.
Central defender Dias will join City in the overall deal, which is worth £65million. He will cost City around £50m, with Otamendi joining Benfica for a fee in the region of £15m.
And the arrival of Dias cannot come soon enough after a shambolic defensive performance as Pep Guardiola's side suffered a 5-2 Premier League defeat to Leicester City on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola's failure to replace the departing Vincent Kompany last summer was a big factor in his side falling so far off the pace in their title defence last season, with rivals Liverpool rampaging to the crown.

City had started to address their defensive problems by signing Nathan Ake from Bournemouth this summer, while they have also been linked with Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, and Jules Kounde of Sevilla.
But in 23-year-old Dias they will be signing one of the most highly-rated young centre-backs in Europe, who was a member of Portugal's UEFA Nations League-winning team last year.
Ake scored late on in City's defeat to Leicester on Sunday, but it was a poor defensive performance from Guardiola's side.

Arteta's Gunners reboot faces its toughest test yet in Monday's Premier League clash, which is the first of two games in four days against Jurgen Klopp's side
Mikel Arteta could make changes for Monday's Premier League clash against Liverpool as his Arsenal transformation faces its biggest yet.
Arteta has guided the Gunners to victory in their last two games against Jurgen Klopp' side, with a league win in July followed by last month's penalty shootout triumph in the Community Shield.
In between those two games, Arsenal also beat Manchester City and Chelsea on their way to a 14th FA Cup triumph, while victories in their first three games of this season have added to the growing optimism around the Emirates.
However, playing a Liverpool side at Anfield three games into their title defence will present a very different challenge to hosting a team who had already secured the league crown with a huge points advantage during Project Restart.
The Reds have not lost to Arsenal on their home turf since Arteta was in the team more than eight years ago, while the Gunners' poor record on the road big-six sides has cost them in recent seasons.

No10 is said to be considering closing pubs, restaurants and bars for two weeks across much of England to slow coronavirus. It's also reported households would be banned from meeting each other indoors - like they already are in many local lockdown zones
Emergency lockdown 'could see all socialising across north and London banned'
The government is reportedly looking at plans to ban all socialising across much of northern England and London to combat a second wave of coronavirus.
Under the new lockdown measures being considered, all pubs, restaurants and bars across a wide area would be ordered to shut for two weeks initially to slow the spread.
Meanwhile, millions more people would be banned from meeting friends and family who they don't live with indoors.
That rule already applies to millions of people in local lockdown areas like Manchester, Newcastle and Liverpool, but could be extended to more areas including London.
Schools and shops would be allowed to remain open, along with factories and offices at which staff could not work from home, it is reported.
Care minister Helen Whately today repeatedly refused to rule out the drastic plan, which was reported in The Times.

She told BBC Breakfast: "We don’t want to bring in restrictions any more than we have to, but we know we must have Covid under control.”
She added: "This is the moment of time when we have an opportunity, we have a choice as a country, to get this back down under control with the Covid rates again.
"We have to break these chains of transmission. That's the way we get the rates back down again. We have seen them going up again in the last two weeks."
The PM's official spokesman did not rule out the move, and warned local areas could face further restrictions if the virus continues to rise.
However, it is understood there is no current plan to announce further national measures this week.
The PM's spokesman said he was not yet “in a position” to say if the 'rule of six' is sufficient, adding: "It takes a minimum of two weeks to start to see the impact of the measures we have introduced."
Asked about reported plans, the Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "There's nothing new beyond the position that was set out by the Prime Minister on Tuesday. We've said that we may require to take additional steps particularly in areas of high prevalence."
Asked about London, he said there was "no update" since the capital being added to the list of areas of concern.
According to The Times, the measure was presented to ministers as an option last week but was held back following a Cabinet row about how best to protect the economy.
Instead Boris Johnson opted for a 10pm curfew on pubs and restaurants - but SAGE scientists claimed they were not consulted on it, and the measure has led to large crowds partying in the streets at closing time.
Announcing the curfew last week, the Prime Minister said he wanted to avoid a second national lockdown - which he branded "disastrous" for the economy.
But he also warned he could take further measures if the curfew doesn't work, with his right-hand man warning they'd be "more intrusive or we could end up in a national lockdown".

Tory minister Ms Whately refused to rule out or deny the report in The Times when questioned in repeated TV and radio interviews this morning.
She told Sky News: “We don’t want to bring in tighter restrictions because we know how difficult they make people’s lives.
“We want people to both be able to spend time with friends and family and also crucially for the economy to still be going as strong as it possibly can.
“So we don’t want to bring in more restrictions.
“But of course we keep a constant eye on what’s going on with the Covid rates - and we have seen these upward trends in recent weeks.”
She said images of people partying in the streets after 10pm pub kick-outs were "worrying", and warned people to "head home".
"Everybody's actions count", she added.
It comes after a range of measures were brought in across the UK - although England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all legislate separately.
New measures since last week required people to work from home where possible.
Downing Street had also ordered restaurants and bars to close early to tackle a fast-spreading second wave of Covid-19, with new restrictions lasting probably six months.

'My husband wants a divorce after having time to think about us during lockdown'
Dear Coleen
A couple of months ago, my husband moved out after telling me he doesn’t feel the same way about us, especially after having time to think during lockdown, and that he wants a divorce.
We’re both 33 and got married when we were 25, which felt young at the time. We don’t have any children – a source of sadness for me. I suppose we just never got on with having a family or maybe didn’t want it enough.
However, I do love him and I’m lost without him. I would love to make the marriage work, but his mind is made up.
There weren’t any specific problems in our marriage – we got along great as friends and never argued much.
The only thing I can think of is that we did seem to drift along without much purpose and things did feel quite mundane at times.
I wish I’d done something about this when I had the chance, but I think it’s too late. He says we both need to let go and move on.
I just feel so sad about the whole thing and feel like we haven’t had a proper chance to see if we can change things for the better. However, he won’t go to counselling and is determined this is best for both of us. I’d love your advice.
Coleen says
This is sad and tough for you, but he’s been honest about his feelings and you can’t force him to work at the marriage if it’s not what he wants. And counselling would need commitment from both of you, too. You can’t repair things on your own.
However, divorce doesn’t happen overnight and spending time apart will allow both of you to reflect on the marriage. It might strengthen his feelings that he’s made the right decision, but I guess there’s always a chance he’ll miss you and reconsider.
It sounds as if you’ve been drifting for some time in the relationship without making many plans for the future – whether or not to start a family, for example. But it’s really hard to admit to yourself and to each other that things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. And this means you can limp on for ages without making any decisions.
You’re a young woman with so much potential and so many opportunities in your future, and you mustn’t settle for a relationship because it’s familiar or it’s the only one you’ve ever known.
Good luck.

Liverpool are facing an injury crisis ahead of Monday 's Premier League showdown against Arsenal with fears over Thiago Alcantara and Alisson .
It was hoped that new signing Thiago would make his first start for Jurgen Klopp 's side against the Gunners , after he came on for Jordan Henderson during last week 's win over Chelsea .
