Lille defender Leny Yoro is flying to the UK for a medical with Manchester United after a deal worth over £50m was agreed.
Man Utd have also agreed personal terms in principle with the 18-year-old according to Sky Sports.
The teenage talent was said to have favoured a move to Real Madrid but United have been working to convince him to join.
The report stated that although there is still work to do as a deal is not fully done, Man Utd are now optimistic they can get it over the line.
Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite and Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt are players the club still admire – and remain options, subject to having budget and squad space available as the window evolves.
Signing two central defenders this summer is possible for Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag following the exits of Raphael Varane and Willy Kambwala, and further departures would increase that likelihood.
The move for Yoro comes with Lille finding themselves in a difficult situation because he has one year left on his deal and can speak to clubs outside of France from January.
Yoro made 41 appearances in all competitions for the Ligue 1 side last season and scored three goals.
