Manchester United have agreed a sensational £30 million deal for Brazilian phenom Lucas Moura according to a report on the Daily Mail.
It is no secret that Sir Alex Ferguson is chasing the attacking midfielder's signature, but it seems he may have gotten his man after all.
"Lucas Moura will have a medical in Manchester today after travelling down last night from Newcastle for Brazil's Olympic Games quarter-final against Honduras at St James' Park," the story claims.
It also reveals that the United boss remained behind after United travelled to Norway for an upcoming friendly to complete the deal.
The news, if proven accurate, will come as a massive relief to many United fans, who have followed the long-running transfer saga with bated breath.
Although Moura still has a way to go before one could call him "world class," his potential is off the charts.
Long considered one of the finest young prospects to come out of Brazil in recent years, he is sure to play a part in his nation's home world cup campaign in 2014.
In the same report, the Mail reveals that United are not yet out of the race for Arsenal striker Robin van Persie, with a £20 million transfer mooted.
However, The Mirror are currently claiming that the Dutchman is set to perform a U-turn over his decision to leave, and is set to sensationally remain in North London.
With all of the rumours and reports surrounding United building to an inevitable climax, fans of the club will be keeping a close eye on the transfer news in the coming few weeks.
And with the start of the Premier League campaign almost upon us, the moves United make are sure to define their success this season.
