São Paulo midfielder Lucas Moura will join Manchester United for £30 million after the Olympic Games, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
Lucas, 19, will undergo a medical at Old Trafford on Sunday according to the paper, whilst other media sources are reporting a similar situation, with Sir Alex Ferguson yet to travel on the club's European tour.
The development would end weeks of discussion over the future of the Brazilian attacker, who has had European media organisations in overdrive all summer.
It is believed that a delegation from São Paulo is currently in the UK to complete the deal, with Manchester United's officials having returned from Brazil last week.
Alongside Lucas, the reports also claim that the Red Devils will increase their attempts to sign Arsenal's wantaway forward Robin van Persie in an audacious double transfer swoop worth a total £50 million.
The moves for Lucas and Van Persie come just days after the announcement of a record-breaking new sponsorship deal with GM Motors brand Chevrolet, which is believed to dwarf the clubs current sponsorship revenue.
