Manchester United have reached a deal for Porto defender Alex Telles, according to reports.
The 27-year-old Brazilian had been linked to a signing by United after the club failed to sign Sergio Reguilon, who has joined Tottenham Hotspur.
Telles is out of contract at Porto at the end of the current season and it was suggested that Ed Woodward would wait until January to sign him into a pre-contract agreement to avoid paying a fee for the player.
It now appears that United and his current club have agreed to a compromise agreement to sign the player before the end of the transfer period tomorrow, with the starting sales price of around £ 22 million.
United have agreed to an initial commission of 15 million euros that could rise to 17 million. Telles will sign a four-year contract with the option of a fifth.
United allowed defender Diogo Dalot to join AC Milan on a one-season loan that may have freed up space on the team for the left-back, and Chris Smalling is still expected to join Roma on a permanent deal.
Stories from Saturday night suggest that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will also welcome Uruguayans Facundo Pellistri and Edinson Cavani to the club.
