Manchester United have agreed a British record transfer fee of £59.7m to sign Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria.
The Argentina international, 26, is in Manchester and will have a medical on Tuesday morning, after which the move – which will take United’s summer spending to £132m – will be confirmed.
He could make his debut away to Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
The fee will eclipse the £50m Chelsea paid Liverpool for striker Fernando Torres in 2011.
United last broke the British transfer record when they paid Leeds £29.1m for Rio Ferdinand in 2002.
The Old Trafford club have already bought left-back Luke Shaw, midfielder Ander Herrera and Di Maria’s Argentina team-mate Marcos Rojo for a combined £72m this summer.
“Di Maria has not trained with us today and he came in to say goodbye to the players and people at the club,” said Real boss Carlo Ancelotti on Sunday. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
