Manchester United have agreed a £70 million deal to sign Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, with the Cameroon international set to undergo a medical ahead of completing his move to Old Trafford.
The agreement is worth an initial £65m, with a further £5m in potential add-ons, while Brighton have also secured a sell-on clause as part of the deal.
Both clubs reached a breakthrough in negotiations on Friday evening, clearing the way for the 22-year-old to complete his medical with United this weekend.
