There is increased optimism from all parties that a deal can be finalised for Joshua Zirkzee's move from Bologna to Manchester United.
Extensive talks have taken place with Zirkzee's representatives and there is a broad agreement on terms with the player.
As was reported by Sky Sports, United have made it clear they will meet the 23-year-old's £34m release clause.
Discussions are ongoing internally over whether United will pay the clause in full or negotiate a structure with Bologna.
Zirkzee is with the Netherlands squad at Euro 2024 and made his first appearance of the tournament in Saturday night's quarter-final win over Turkey, coming on as a late substitute.
