... strongly linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium to bolster City's midfield.
Reports in Italy claim Pizarro will join the Blues on loan until the end of the season.
Pizarro's agent said the player would travel to England on Tuesday afternoon to complete the loan move. "We will fly to England at 1400 hours," Giuseppe Bozzo told asromanews.it. "The problems relating to a work permit have been resolved and Manchester City will ask for a dispensation regarding his national team appearances."
The 32-year-old Pizarro has made only seven league appearances for Roma this season. He joined the club from Internazionale in 2006 and is under contract with the giallorossi until June 2013.
