A source from within the club has confirmed to Turkish-Football.com that Denayer has passed his medical and will pen a deal with Galatasaray today.
Denayer will be available for selection when Galatasaray take on Antalyaspor on September 10.
Turkish outlet Sporx have reported that Denayer turned down offers from Brighton, Wolfsburg, Real Betis, Girona, Lavante, Bordeaux and Standard Liege in favour of a move to Galatasaray.
The Belgium international defender hasn’t featured in City boss Pep Guaridola’s plans since the Spanish tactician was appointed as manager.
Denayer made 24 Premier League appearances for Sunderland last season.
