Real Madrid winger Angel di Maria is expected to fly to England within next 24 hours as Manchester United are inching closer to smash the British transfer record.
According to reports from The Times, negotiations between the two clubs continued last night and it seems that a deal has been struck.
Spanish media are reporting that a fee of £63.9 million has been agreed, but United camp maintain that a deal has not yet been struck, although negotiations are on-going between Ed Woodward, the executive vice-chairman, and the Spanish club.
The Times reckon that the fee could be as high as £68 million if certain conditions are met. Chelsea set the current British transfer record when they signed Fernando Torres from Liverpool for £50m.
Di Maria has already said goodbye to his Real Madrid team mates, and is expected to fly to Manchester today with a view to taking a medical and signing a contract worth £8m per year. He will wear the iconic no 7 at Manchester United.
