Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro for 60m euros (£50.7m) plus 10m euros (£8.5m) in add ons.
Talks have progressed quickly and United are optimistic the deal for the Brazil international, 30, will be completed in the next few days.
Casemiro has been with Real since 2013, winning three La Liga titles and five Champions Leagues.
United are bottom of the Premier League and host Liverpool on Monday.
Casemiro would become one of the United's top earners if he completes the move and would sign a four-year contract with the option of an additional year.
