Weiss: Slovakian's time at City has come to an end
Dynamo Kiev have confirmed that Vladimir Weiss is joining them from Manchester City this summer.
An agreement has been reached between the two clubs and the winger will become part of the Ukrainian giants' squad "soon" as he has already passed his medical.
"Yes, Vladimir Weiss has passed a medical and soon we will include him in our squad," Kiev head coach Yuri Semin told local television.
Sky Sports sources understand that Weiss will cost Kiev a transfer fee of £4million, even though the clubs have yet to disclose any financial detail.
The Slovakia international, who has been at City since 2006 and developed at the club's youth academy, has failed to cement his place in the first team at the Etihad Stadium since making his debut in 2009 and played on loan for Rangers last season.
The 21-year-old, whose father Vladimir Weiss Snr is the coach of the Slovakia national team, played a prominent role in City's pre-season tour of North America but has been told by boss Roberto Mancini that his first-team opportunities this season will be limited.
City have already sold a number of their fringe players this summer, including Shay Given and Jerome Boateng, and are also trying to offload the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Roque Santa Cruz and Craig Bellamy.
