Andre Onana, the goalkeeper for Inter Milan, and Manchester United have reached a personal agreement, according to the Dutch publication De Telegraaf.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of the Red Devils, has identified Onana as his top pick to succeed David de Gea, who is currently a free agent.
However, the Champions League finalists have thus far turned down two proposals from United for Onana.
The most recent offer was £38.5 million plus an additional £4.2 million in bonuses and add-ons.
Inter expects to collect €55 million (£47 million) for the 27-year-old, and it is anticipated that an agreement will be reached by all parties soon.
Onana, who is eager to be reunited with Ten Hag at Old Trafford, has spoken with United while they are negotiating with Inter and they have verbally agreed on personal terms.
