Manuel Ugarte is due in England today for his medical ahead of his transfer to Manchester United from Paris St Germain.
The clubs agreed on a fee last night after United’s Jason Wilcox headed to Paris to finalise negotiations. Wilcox was joined in Paris by Matt Hargreaves director of player negotiations.
The deal is worth £42m plus a further £8.4m in add ons for the Uruguay international.
United were able to make their move finally as Scott McTominay closed on a £26m move to Napoli and Hannibal Mejbri joined Burnley in a deal worth up to £9.5m.
McTominay is expected to travel to Italy today as he finalises his exit settlement with United while Mejbri underwent part of his medical last night.

Ugarte was not involved in PSG’s Ligue 1 season opener against Le Havre on August 16 amid the latest transfer speculation.
The midfielder would become Erik ten Hag’s fifth signing of the summer transfer window.
The Dutchman has brought in Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, and Noussair Mazraoui, so far.
Ugarte featured in 37 games for the French heavyweights last season as the club won Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France.
He had earlier represented Sporting 85 times over a two-year spell, having started his Portuguese club career playing for Famalicao.
Ugarte has also been capped 22 times at senior international level for Uruguay.
