The transfer is expected to cost the French side £8.8 million, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Some reports suggest Lopes, 19, could be set for a loan move to Lille, where he spent the entirety of last season and made 23 appearances and scored three goals.

While he was never really given a chance to play first-team football at City, Lopes was grateful for the opportunity to wear the sky-blue kit.
