The Ivory Coast international is set to join the Premier League champions on a long-term deal, with Manuel Pellegrini keen to boost his attacking options.
The Citizens already have Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic in their squad, but Bony will be confident of replicating the form he has shown in south Wales since joining the club from Dutch outfit Vitesse Arnhem.
The striker was the leading goalscorer over 2014 in the top flight, and City fans will be delighted with the acquistion of yet another proven goalscorer.
