Pep Guardiola is known to be an admirer of the Croatian international defender and wants his club to finalise the deal as soon as possible.
The defender has a release clause of €110m (£94m/$120m) that kicks in next summer, but City are keen to sign him in this transfer window.
Guardiola's side also close to finalising a deal with Chelsea over the transfer of Mateo Kovacic, and will also be hoping to add Gvardiol to the squad in the coming days.
