Sept 28 (Reuters) - Manchester City have reached an agreement to sign defender Ruben Dias from Benfica for 68 million euros ($79.13 million) plus add-ons, the Portuguese club have said. City’s Argentinian defender Nicolas Otamendi will go the other way in a separate transfer for 15 million euros, Benfica said. Benfica confirmed the transfers in a statement on Sunday but said the players would still need to sign their respective contracts. Dias, 23, has made 137 appearances during a four-year spell with the Portuguese club, winning the league title in 2018-19. His arrival will help shore up a leaky City defence, which shipped five goals to Leicester City on Sunday.
