Manchester United are close to reaching an agreement with Sporting Lisbon to sign Bruno Fernandes in a deal which could be worth up to £60m.
It is understood the Portuguese could complete his move after his final appearance for Sporting in Friday’s derby with Benfica in Lisbon.
United will pay £43m up front for the Portugal international with an extra £17m in potential add-ons.
The 25-year-old has also agreed personal terms with United which will see him earn around £120,000 a week at Old Trafford.
Part of the negotiations over a deal for Fernandes included Manchester United not wanting him to play in Friday’s game but the player and Sporting insist that he was going to play in order to say a proper goodbye to the club and the supporters.
It is understood that the deal could progress very quickly over the weekend and there is speculation in Portugal that he could even be in the stands for United’s clash with Liverpool at Anfield on Super Sunday.
The deal will be the second biggest involving a Portuguese player leaving a Portuguese club to go elsewhere after Joao Felix’s £107m move to Atletico Madrid last summer from Benfica.
