Bruno Fernandes is due to fly to England on Wednesday for a Manchester United medical after the final details of the midfielder’s transfer from Sporting Lisbon were settled.
It is understood the Portugal international will cost United a basic €55m (£46.5m) plus up to €25m in add-ons and that he has agreed a four-and-a-half year contract with the option of an extra year.
Fernandes, who can also play as a No 10, has scored 14 goals in 28 games at club and international level this season.
Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signing of the winger Steven Bergwijn from PSV Eindhoven on a contract to 2025. The 22-year-old will take the No 23 shirt left vacant by Christian Eriksen’s move to Internazionale.
Spurs are paying €30m, plus €2m in add-ons, for Bergwijn, who has played nine times for the Netherlands. Bergwijn said: “It’s a dream, I think, for every football player to play in the Premier League: the atmosphere, the stadiums are always full … I want to score goals, give assists, play in the Champions League. Last season I loved seeing [Tottenham] beat Ajax!”
Spurs have made an inquiry to Chelsea about the France striker Olivier Giroud, who has six months on his contract and wants more regular football in the countdown to Euro 2020, but it is understood the chances of a deal are slim.
José Mourinho wants cover for the injured Harry Kane and he retains an interest in Krzysztof Piatek of Milan. Spurs would like Piatek on loan whereas Milan have said they are interested only in a permanent transfer. They would want to recoup the £30m paid to take him from Genoa last January.
It remains to be seen whether either side soften their stance before Friday night’s deadline. Spurs hope that Milan will realise that a loan would allow Piatek to play and hopefully shine in some high-profile matches, including the Champions League last 16 against RB Leipzig, thereby increasing his value to the Italian club.
