Manchester United are close to an agreement with Real Madrid for Casemiro.

According to Sky Sports, the exact fee is £50.7m plus £8.5m in add-ons.

Casemiro has been offered a four-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.

However, even if the deal is sealed this weekend, it is unlikely that the Brazilian will be available for United’s next Premier League clash, as he requires a visa.
