Stefan Savic undergoes Manchester City medicalPartizan Belgrade centre-back Stefan Savic is undergoing a medical at Manchester City, BBC Sport understands.
The 20-year-old would become City's second defensive signing of the summer after Monday's deal for Gael Clichy.
The Montenegro international had a 10-day trial with Arsenal last year.
BBC Sport's Phil McNulty said on social networking site Twitter: "Man City's main business today is concluding the deal for Partizan Belgrade defender Stefan Savic."
The Eastlands outfit would also need to secure a work permit to complete the move.
Savic was a member of the Montenegro side that frustrated England in a 0-0 draw at Wembley in October 2010 in a Euro 2012 qualifier.
He also faced English opposition when turning out for Partizan against Arsenal in the Champions League in December.
In February 2010, Savic, who was then playing for Serbian side BSK Borca, was reported as saying he expected to sign a pre-contract agreement with the Gunners following his trial.
However, the deal did not go through and he instead joined Partizan in August.
