Manchester United have agreed a deal with Chelsea for midfielder Andrey Santos, sources have told ESPN.
United are set to play an initial fee of £48 million ($64m) for the 22-year-old Brazilian with another £2m ($2.3m) due in potential add-ons.
Personal terms are already in place and Santos has been given permission by Chelsea to undergo a medical.
United have turned their attention to Santos after missing out on Mateus Fernandes, who has joined Tottenham from West Ham for £85m ($114m).
Meanwhile, sources close to United have rejected speculation that Éderson's proposed move from Atalanta has stalled because of problems with his medical.
