Ryan Giggs says Ashley Williams is on his way to Bristol City.
The Robins are looking to bolster their defence and the former Swansea City and Everton defender was last night pictured in a City tracksuit ahead of the 2-1 win away to Derby County.
While City boss Lee Johnson played down talk of an agreement to sign Williams being close, Giggs seems to think differently.
Wales Online report that, in explaining his decision to leave Williams out of his Wales squad for fixtures in September, Giggs revealed that the Robins deal was 'more or less' done.
"Regarding the players, obviously the big one is Ash, he’s not involved in the squad," said Giggs.
"He’s yet to find a club, I think he’s more or less signed for Bristol City, I know he’s in talks with them. He’s not done a pre-season.
"I spoke with Ash last week and he was fine about it. It wasn’t a surprise to him. He hasn’t let me down, and he’s been brilliant for me as a captain on and off the pitch.
"It wasn’t an easy decision but we have players who are playing, especially in his position so I’m just being fair to those players really. If he plays games then he’ll be involved."
It comes after Johnson last night said there was nothing yet definite in the deal.
"The situation with Ashley is that there’s nothing definite. We’ve had him in and we’ve tested him," said Johnson following the fine Bristol City victory.
"We’ve had a look at him and he’s had a look at us. Both have got to make a decision.
"We haven’t gone into negotiations or anything like that. His body fat’s good.
"I said to him you’re not on trial but your hips are on trial. After all the testing we’ve done we’ll just see where we are.
"We’re quite relaxed about it. We’ll see where we get to at the back end of the week
